When love fades.

I look in my near view mirror.
Look at you one last time.
But it’s like I’m looking at a ghost.
I look back too afraid to hit the gas.
Cause deep down your memory still stings.
If you ask me if i was ready to move on to only see the ghost of you and me.
I would have said…”No.”
Love is jumping with that rope not perfectly safe.
I look in my near view mirror to see that smile one last time.
How beautiful you still looked at me.
How the tears still fell down as your image disappeared in the day and night.
The silence stung.
The words unsaid.

If you were to ask me if i was ready to let it go.
My heart still wanted you to change your mind.
But knowing deep down you never would.
You had the chance to run after me…..i know deep down i would have hit the brakes.
I loved you.
I loved you still.
I was breathing for air without you.
I tried to move on….
Failing cause deep down you were all i wanted.
Looking back in my rear view mirror.
I made the mistakes….but honey you had the choose to not let us slip through your fingers.
I was never the reason….you wanted to fight for.
I look back in my rear view mirror only to find i still can remember those light brown eyes.
That perfect smile.
The way you touched.
The way we made love.
The way you knew me.
This is my temporary home should have thought.
Instead of falling so hard for you.
It was just a stop. 

In my rear view mirror you held the key and words to my heart.
And now…
It all is in the distance still lingering.
But i will always remember long night talks….
Those perfect light brown eyes.
The way you loved me.
Back when you did.
I loved you than….i loved you still.
Because you loved me my walls fell down.
Lead me in a different road than we thought.
But i found….perfection in different.
From another state back to home….
I’d do it all over again.
I’d love you all over again to get me here.
I wonder where we landed now.
Where the long talks went.
I loved you….
Now i love someone else.
But i wonder….
In my rear view mirror i know i looked back to see you smiling again.
To just talk to you again.
Just to be friends again.
When did this car leave your light so dark.
That you can’t even talk to me?
When did we leave what we had to rest?
When was it alright to no longer have each other in our lives?
Only questions you can answer.

Only in my rear view mirror does the memory linger.
I’m left wondering why?
I’m still wishing you were the number i could call.
Only than maybe you’d see what you still mean to me.
How lost i feel.
Looking back in my rear view mirror and your not there to tell me everything will be okay.
I still see your smile.
I still can hear your laugh.
I may love someone else…
But my heart still needs you my friend.
What does break up mean to a heart that still wants you in my life.
Still wants to be apart of your life.
Good or bad.
Do i ever cross your mind?
Don’t you see that shutting me out is just destroying me? 
I just need you now friend.
To look back on the time we had….
Held and still do.
Only in rear view mirror does that show.
I can still hear your voice.
Look across the lake and remember when we were happy just having each other around.
From time to time i wish you knew….
What you still meant.
I still want to be strong 8.8.09.
If only you knew.
