Little Miss Apple Pie

As each track passes me by
So did all the memories we chose to leave behind
One song plays after another
Telling stories of our distant past
I drifted off to the very first night
You held me tight in your arms
Each memory progressed right before my eyes
Somehow, as a familiar track played
I wondered why you couldn't have just stayed
Now as the playlist comes to an end
I've come to the realization
That what just happened was but a story
About how we loved, how I lost you
And how much I wanted to erase
All traces of you.

If I could only

Every night I religiously asked for you to be kept from all harm.

And if by chance you have found someone new, I also prayed that deep inside, a part of you will think of me, too.

Days that we shared, the love I gave may you always remember that I loved only you.

And if that new found love begins to falter, breaks your heart all over again,

come back to me.

Come back anytime you want and I'll surely take you back with loving arms.

Beneath the stars we lay side by side
We weren't alone
But you secretly held my hand
I've to let go a couple of times
However you'd just keep on
Reaching for it
Until you ended up
Running your hands on my thighs
I shot you a look of warning
Which you only smiled to
You never yielded even if I tell you to
Somehow you never changed
So I let your hand go on wandering

I looked down
I held in my hands
A half-empty cup
Slowly swirling down
To an endless stream
Of could have been's
Trying to control and stop
Emerging hopes and dreams
Knowing for a fact that
It's all they will ever be

In your eyes, I've danced for a while
Let you see what and who I truly am
I let all my guards down
Thinking that it isn't such a crime
I devoted all of my time
Yet, I have made you fear of yourself
I must have hurt your pride
Made you fear of life
So now, you let another
Dance before your eyes

What makes it so painful is that
