finding myself after you

Location

there was a me before you

just as i know there will be a me after you

after all we are seperate people

with seperate thoughts

and seperate souls

and beliefs and ideas

and likes and dislikes 

my mind knows that there is more to love than what you have given

and all i can do is lie awake at night wondering if there it more to love

and wondering why it is so hard to leave something behind that no longer suits me

i offered you the world

and you offered me a town

that kept getting smaller

and more hostile

and drove people away

the door just keeps getting smaller and smaller

trapping me in the unwanted barren concept we call love

the nolstalgic sadness pours out of my eyes

as i break out the door

and find my true home

to spend the rest of my life with

i will find the meaningness of happiness intertwined with love

and it will be without you
