When You Realize (I'll Be Here)

I go to bed in tears once again tonight
As thoughts of him rush through my mind.
How I wish he wouldn’t have selfishly went so far away
And left me and my feelings for him behind.

I wish he knew how to take a hint
That I’m hurting so deeply inside.
How all I want is for him to come home.
Even just for a quick visit.

He won’t be there for my graduation or prom.
The things in my life that I was present for in his.
My heart is like an atom bomb
Ready to set off because he doesn’t realize how important it is.

He makes up excuses to leave me alone at night.
Allowing my heart time to break in two.
My feelings for him are no longer right.
They shouldn’t be so twisted and askew.

He broke my heart so many times before
And never seemed to care at all.
Yet my love for him seems to have no floor,
And I’m willing to take the long steady fall.

Maybe someday he’ll catch the clues
That I throw at him each and every day.
Hopefully in the future he’ll take his cues
And realize that I love him in every way.


(Well, this went differently than what I thought it would, but do you get it now?)
