Why?
That one little word says it all.
Now I just want to die,
But no one even saw me fall.

Cry.
That’s all I want to do now.
I thought I’d never love again,
But you, you took me and showed me how

I
Know I never deserved you.
But now, inside,
I can’t imagine life without you.

You,
I don’t want to hurt.
So I’ll hold on to you tight,
Deep down inside my heart.

I
Know we were meant to be
Some hate it, don’t get why,
But you are really good for me.

Cry-
Please don’t, not ever.
I’ll always be here,
And I’ll love you forever.

The author's comments:
This is about that person who means everything to me. My parents took away my phone, and my mom has a history of saying hurtful things to the people I care about, so this was sort of an apology to this girl. It starts with how I felt when I realized what they would probably say to her, and then I tell her everything she means to me.

Haha, I just now saw this.  I don't remember, actually.  I don't remember who I was with at the time.  If it is who I think it was, then yes.  but I'm in a relationship with a different girl now, and things are really going great. :)

Hey if you don't mind me asking. Did you ever get in touch with your girl again?

I self-publish now, mostly.  I still come on here every now and then, but for the most part, you can find me here mortimers murmurs. blogspot. com

Just get rid of the spaces and it should work.

&quot;In the end, it&#039;s still best to wait for the one we want rather than settle for what&#039;s available. It&#039;s still best to wait for the one you love rather than to settle for the one who&#039;s around. It&#039;s still best to wait for the right person, because life&#039;s too short to waste on the wrong one.&quot;

Parents have a tendency to do that.....they also have a tendency to get annoying, but I guess that fit's right in
