That One Stupid Second

by Ashley   May 15, 2006


From that one moment
I was screwed.
It took one stupid second
To change my mood.

In that stupid second,
My future changed.
My present sucks,
My heart is drained.

You hurt me bad,
But I still love you so.
That question still lingers,
Why did you have to go?

I loved every second you spared
Just to spend some time with me.
It meant the world to me
That you thought the world of me.

I would have done anything
To stay in that lover's embrace.
Your arms meant safety,
I'd felt like I won the race.

But then one day
I ended up dead last.
Where were you?
Why did you leave so fast?

No matter how fast I ran,
The further you slipped away.
Where were you going?
Would I see you again someday?

I saw you again
73 days later.
Yup, I counted the days
You little traitor!

Then I didn't see you
For another 119 days.
I'm not making this up,
I'm serious, in so many ways.

I'm not psycho,
Just a lil bit crazy.
I'm still trying to make this work,
And you're still being lazy.

That lingering effect of your touch
Has worn off and is gone.
And I would give anything in this world
To have one last hug from you hun.

I need to feel your gentle squeeze.
That's the only thing I'm living for.
If that was ever taken away from me,
My future would be nothing but horror.

You are my source of sanity.
You make my world go round.
And if today were my last day,
Baby, don't make a sound.

Just wrap me in your arms.
Let me have one more moment.
Let me savor, once more, that one stupid second
The one where every word was most meant.
