Array ( [sid] => 23414 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Nothing Lasts Forever [time] => 2003-09-18 04:05:00 [hometext] => Written a little while ago but wanted to post it anyway. The end part of this write I still feel, so I guess I learnt that I am still learning. [bodytext] => I stood out there, waiting, waiting, waiting.
I stood there horrified as you just drove past.
Suddenly something inside me started hating, hating, hating.
I realize our relationship hasn’t been able to last.

I watched as your car sped far away,
And I knew you wouldn’t be coming back.
What more can I do or what more can I say?
I can’t make you stay, but answer this – what did I lack?

I don’t know if you feel the way I feel,
But I truly doubt you feel like this,
Where you can’t even eat a simple meal,
Because I feel sick from you, who I miss.

I can’t stop myself from remembering and wanting.
Did you think about how I would suffer? How I would feel?
This world and life is so daunting,
And I try to forget, but now it’s so vividly real.

I heard a car rumble and stop outside,
And I ran to the window with tears in my eyes.
I knew it wasn’t you, but I couldn’t help it, my heart is still open, gaping wide.
This is the first time I really cried since you left me with no goodbyes, just a mind full of whys?

Why, why, why and I can’t help but to cry now,
Just have to get by now, tell myself a lie now.
People don’t die from this, it’s going to be alright.
Just hold on to yourself tight,
And you might forget the hurt and make it right,
For me to be so free from this fear that holds me near,
Holds out my tears and watches me steer the wrong way,
That makes me stay, linger in this pain, but I’m not insane,
Get out of the rain, don’t watch yourself burn, see yourself turn,
But you’re still there with the pain,
When will you learn? When will I learn?
