With my head held highly
I walk past without a smile or a glance
Like we were always just strangers
I normally walk past
As you extend you hands towards me
My blank face gives it all away
You retreat quickly back and as I walk past
You could've yelled for me to stay
Do you know that I am also hurting
That every word I say consists of you
That every step I take, I can barely breath
That like you, I also do want to begin all over too
I smile and laugh among others
To show that you have not affected my heart even once
That I was strong ever since we stopped
And from the beginning, you could've been gone
Do you know how many times you have stabbed at me heartlessly?
Yet I stand with a smile to await you and now we leave all that behind
To start anew by ourselves
To no longer hear of the words "you're mine"
Yes, it was true
That I was crazy afterwords
That I couldn't eat, sleep, or even breath without you
And I use to wonder if you did too
Now that I confidently slide past you
Do I give in now and shout your name?
To lie again and again
To say that what you're doing is just a game
I try to stray myself from you
To cut off myself from you forever
But that would be the same as giving up my life
And to break and fall apart just because you've gone to her
Now, I easily smile to others
To state that I am OK without you by me
But, do you know I can barely remember how to put one foot in front of another?
That it takes so much more strength for me to even breath
