Eyes Open...



You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

*****
What if we forget the past and meet again? Do you think we will be friends again? Will we pass each other like strangers on the subway, never to meet again? Or do you think, we will still feel the connection, even for a second?

Very real post! Can totally relate. There is just one thing I find missing: Ever thought why you are the way you are? What made you, you? I'm sure you did but didn't mention all that here. Why you are scared / weak / flawed / blemished but don't show it?

Things that happen in your life make you, you. It starts right from childhood and goes up to the end, be it your best friend ditching, parents fighting or the one guy you truly loved marrying someone else! So don't take ALL the credit, you are not the ONLY one responsible, you are not the only one to be blamed.

Just a perspective!

P.S. You MUST eat tons of grapes everyday! You sound like a mature person then! :P And I loved that post ^ "Perpetually Yours"
