Dont

by Olivia   Aug 21, 2006


Dont die because I love you
Live because you can
Dont cry because youre sorry
Smile because you have that still

Know these things
I will never again expect you to like me
I will never again wish for you to love me
I will never again dream that my feelings will be yours too

Im not that girl with the broken hopes
Im not that girl reaching for a non-existent hand to hold
Im not that girl who believed
That maybe things could change

Im not that arrogant
Im not that naive
I know that was once
And never again

I cant hate you anymore
Because youre human
I cant hate you anymore
Because youre real

Those three words I spoke
Were the last words
I ever gave to you
Hold them close
But not too close

Dont make my words your burden
As they did me
Remember
But dont reminisce

Dont die because I love you
Live because you can.

    I like it.

    I find it ironic that my ex is named Olivia.
    You've got a good flair to you.
