There is no one like you
No one gets thru to me
Just like the way you do
Tonight, I’m thinking about you
And how wonderful you made love look
I know, I know I may have loved before
Maybe I was once head over heels for someone else
Maybe he made me feel special
Maybe I made myself to believe I was actually in love
But no, baby
No, cuz you are my true love
You are everything I have asked God for
Maybe you think you’ve done a good job trying to forget me
Not because you don’t love me
But perhaps because you love me so much it hurts
That’s okay baby, I have done so much more than you can imagine
So much more to put you behind my back
Because the pain is too much my dear
It’s unbearable
I always thought to myself that a paper cut comes with the most biting pain
Until you left me.
And then I felt real pain
And even if the saying goes
“It wouldn’t hurt if it wasn’t love”
I’ll still always wish you never left me.
Ever.
I wonder,
How do you do?
Do you still set out to work on an empty stomach?
Do you still get that clean beard cut? The one I always loved to see, The one I always loved to feel
Do you still brighten up every creature around you with your beautiful smile?
Do you still rush out of your office to have late lunch ?
Do you still get back home late,all tired and worn out?
How is your house?
Are the sofas back to the living room?
Was your cousin finally able to hang up the art pieces you got?
I pictured myself living there with you
In a quick vision, I saw us building a most beautiful home
Do you think I have ever imagined having a life with someone else the way I imagined having one with you?
I wonder,
I just wonder
The type of commitment we had
Was bound to come with its ups and downs
But even if you had to go
If you really had to leave me
I promise, I would have understood
I would have taken it with a smile
All you had to do
Was give me a reason why
But I guess you didn’t see the need to
All the same, I took it with a smile…
Backed up with nights and days of tears
Now I’m sitting here
And it’s so loud inside my head
With words I never said to you
Words I should have said to you
More than anything, I miss you
There are so many of them out here
I guess they are trying to win me over
To be honest, it’s irritating
I love that you didn’t have to go miles to prove your love for me before I opened up to you
It was just natural
Oh! our endless love!
That came to an abrupt end
My gallery’s still full
Filled with pictures of you
There’s no need to get rid of them.
Because
Just because no matter how different we are now,
How much of strangers we have become,
It will never change the fact that you once gave to me a bit of you
And I to you, a bit of me
If that’s my only saving grace,
At least you once saved me
Tonight you’re stuck in my head. Unlike other nights when you’re just in my head
Someone once said to me “sometimes you can’t just forget someone”
And I said to her ” Yes, and so they live in our hearts”
You live in my heart, my love
Though you may not want to live here
Though you may choose not to pay rent
Though you may be living with someone else
Though I may never set my eyes on you again
Though I may never feel the warmth of your sweet hugs
Though I may never hear the sound of your golden voice
But still you’ll live in my heart
You’re my truest love
I’ll never let you go, I’ll never let you go..
