You know when things end,
Abruptly, without you seeing it coming?
You go back to the last place, the last time
And think of all the things you would've done
I would've made our kiss linger
I would've held him tighter
I would've watched his every move, every gesture
I would've made it all last longer
You think of all these things
How you should've done everything in excess
So that maybe it wouldn't hurt as much
You wouldn't be yearning as much
But the truth is, you don't know
And you might never know
Could you have done things differently?
Were there things you should've said but didn't?
And when you realised there's nothing you could've done
Comes the aching to know why
At your most loneliest of times
But you're left with the version of yourself you don't even recognize...
