i watch
as tears go by
seeing what was once ours
fading

once again
just a face
alone in the crowd
missing you
wondering how
you lost me- how i lost you
remembering WE

as tears go by
i replay our story
the ups and downs
the smell of your skin on mine
what it’s like to drown
in the ALL of you
the nothing that you do
that makes you- you
i need YOU

as tears go by
i tell myself
that we were just
temporary
contrary to the forever
i’ve felt in your arms

as tears go by
i’ve tried
but lost the will to be
less than more than you need
i
just
need you

and as these tears go by
i cry my love into a cup
in hopes that
you will drink me whole
into your heart
that we
could be

as tears go by
should we be friends?
how can two people who’ve
known
each
other
start over again?
could I pretend that
I have not been in this love with you?

should I settle for friendship?
i know that beggars
can’t be choosers-
but
i can still feel you.
