The summer I tried to love myself I found myself loving you instead.

I found myself wondering why we ever left those cool October nights in the past.

I found myself wondering where the love had gone.

I found myself.

I found myself in you. I felt like nothing but an echo of you.

A silent scream that no one could hear.

Our love such a soft whisper in the wind.

Something so faint that not a soul recognized.

Something so long ago that you've forgotten what we shared.

What we had.

You've got a girlfriend no. Someone to share those cool October nights with. Someone to share your secrets with. Someone to share those stars with.

The summer I tried to love myself I found myself loving someone who didn't love me back.
