As it seems, you never left my mind.
You were just buried under other petty troubles
that I tried so desperately to grow big enough
to out-do you.
But it's not an easy task, nor has it been accomplished.
Part of me is so happy
because you seem so happy.
And the other part of me can't delete old pictures
or see the rest of my life with anyone that is not
the exact same person as you.
I want to let you go.
But I feel my heart turn cold when I try.
And I feel my veins flow slow when I lie
and say that you are gone from my mind.
For you live in the basement lobe of my brain with my innermost emotions.
And the moment you make a trip to my frontal lobe,
My throat tightens. My hands shake. My legs quiver. My stomach aches. My breathing is quicker.
And I'm a professional at covering all of that up.
Because neither you nor anyone else has a clue.
And I don't want them to.
You are happy, so please stay that way.
I know this feeling will leave eventually.
When I said that last time I didn't know how far "eventually" really was away.
But I will be patient and try my hardest to melt this ice cold heart
without falling deeper back into love with you.
