I Still Hug You on the Inside

I still hug you on the inside,
as if nothing had ever ruined what we had,
Tears still drain down my cheeks,
as if the fight had just began.

Why is it this way?
Honestly babe,
I'm not sure,
But one thing I'm sure of,
is what we did have was love,
and who I am now,
was built by a piece of you.

I still hug you on the inside,
as if nothing had ever ruined what we had,
Yes, I've moved on,
Yet I still remain sad.

Your lips were so soft,
they stole my first kiss,
they've drowned me in memories,
of bottomless bliss.

I know,
I understand,
that I'm just a friend,
But believe me,
I will never forget,
The love that we shared,
the laughs that we spent,
even the nights that we wish we'd forget,
Or the times that we screamed,
Or the times that we fought,
Honestly babe,
they hurt a lot.

More than what it seemed,
I still hug you on the inside,
and wish to hold you to my chest,
But now I know,
that I need to rest.

Turn off my light,
wipe away those years,
that we went through together,
and glued together with tears.
