Not Just a Memory to Me
I wish I could be your provider
I wish I could be your shooting star
I wish I could be your lone survivor
And be with you near or far
Don’t leave me to die
Don’t push me aside
Cause I’m your biggest fan
Regardless of me not being your man
You may think that I’m not good enough
Might think he has all the right stuff
But you’ll never feel quite as good as before
So don’t walk out
Don’t leave it at that
And leave me standing at that open door
I feel as though I am such a fool
For pretending as though I never saw you at school
The truth being
Loud and clear
No matter where I sat
You were near
And when you left
I tried to move on
But no one can compete
With the one and only to make me complete
I lost more than just you
I lost part of myself
A part of my heart
I should’ve fought for you then we might not be split apart
But what good is hindsight
In this battle I can’t fight
You’re still there with me
Even when you’re with him
Even when you’re gone
I think that’s another reason I have yet to move on
But why should I leave this rare oddity
You declared us as such and I completely agree
But that oddity was nice
Normal was boring and we were anything but
It is most unfortunate that we came to this rut
You are beautiful
You are smart
You were bossy at times but I didn’t care
Because at the end of the day you were always there
You told me I was funny
You said I was smart
At times we made time stop
I was your weird boy
You my angel, my queen
Taking care of my faithful machine
And now
My friends may scoff
When I tell them you should break it off
Give him up and allow me redemption
Because despite all we’ve had
All we’ve lost
All we suffered
The video replays
Even that not yet buffered
And maybe it’s sad or desperate of me
But when I close my eyes
It’s still you I see
You still embellish my dreams with hope
And those hopes, those dreams
Even my aspirations
Mean nothing without your inspiration
So here I sit on another restless night
Yet again replaying our fights
Imagining how we might remain
As more than an often melded thought to stay sane
I have been your support since the day we met
And that, my dear, is no secret
Through all the rough stuff before we had each other
Up until the point where you saw another
Yet even now you can’t say goodbye
And still declare that you miss me
You love me and I you
That is no mystery
I feel a wave of emptiness and darkness inside
Without you I feel as though I need to hide
I was always there to assist in your darkest of times
Not being your man is my biggest of crimes
But consider this as one final plea
For you I would give up all my vanity
I’m asking you, just this once
To come and rescue me
