It's Always You

It's always you,

Even though you're not by my side,

The memories of you still haunt me.

You're never off my mind, 

Everytime I close my eyes,

Present in every sunrise, 

Is my ghost of you. 

And when I drive down the street,

The empty images of the world fade 

around me,

And my heart misses a beat.

Because I realize now,

That you're no where to be found. 

And I know it was my choice, 

and that I'm the one that left,

But what I didn't know, was that 

It would be you,

Always on my mind,

Even while I slept. 

I cannot concentrate anymore,

And while, still, it's my fault,

And I'm not really sure why,

But my lips linger with the taste of salt,

From all the tears that won't run dry.

 

So, once again, this one's for you.

Maybe it's because 

missing you is so new, 

But I still can't help wishing that

everytime I open my eyes,

It will always be you.
