Before and After

Thu, 07/25/2013 - 12:03 -- Idonije

I remember when you once had me,

it felt like Cupid eventually tagged me.

I gave you support like I was standing at your back

but you let me go and I slipped through the cracks. 

I remember when I told you to be my last, 

but you ended up making me look like a jackass

and alas you're just part of my past.

I remember when we first kissed 

and the last time we dismissed. 

I remember holding you while

you fell asleep in my arms, 

but now you just bring pain and harm. 

What happened? 

I thought I was the best thing that ever

happened to you?

Now I'm the next thing that's not next to you.

We used to be so close, 

we were rubbing elbows, 

but now you're all the way down there

like I'm trying to touch my toes.

I rained love on you but you held up an umbrella,

I blew love your way but you closed the windows,

and I shinned loved on you but you stood under the shades

so I'm just gonna give you your space 

and take my love out of your face.
