Lying To Forget

This lie has become part of me.
For months, I've played this game
Acting like it doesn't hurt each
time I hear your name
Ignoring whats inside of me pretending
I've moved on as if
the feelings I once had
For you are somehow gone.
Spending each and everyday
With happiness and laughs
Forgetting all our memories avoiding
photographs
But last nite when I saw you
For the first time since you left
My heart stopped for a moment.
I couldn't catch my breath
When it suddenly hit me
As the tears started to flow
That even after all this time...
I just can't let you go.
