I can't drive down the street without seeing your car
You working so close to my home seemed like a good idea at the time,
You coming to my school seemed like a good idea at the time,
You meeting all my friends seemed like a good idea at the time,
Loving you seemed like a good idea at the time.
Your face haunts me in every man I meet fearing that I'll fall into his arms just to feel again what I once felt with you.
Your name left a bitter taste in my mouth and when others say it I almost choke on my breath,
My heart turns and sinks in a familiar way almost as if I was hearing all the secrets you kept from me all over again.
Tears form in my eyes even though more than one word hadn't been said
your name.
If time was as good a friend to me as you once were then it would stop, it would return me to the moment right before I met you and give me the chance to escape.
Escape from the lies and love you put me through,
escape from the tears and trauma you put me through,
escape from not being able to even look at a spot without seeing you reaching out to hold my hand and pulling me in for a hug where it seemed like the worlds most complicated puzzle finally found it's missing piece.
I wish I could escape from the memory of you.
