Sign

I dreamt we sat

side by side,

arms linked the way we used to.

You smiled at me

sweetly

and for a moment I forgot that

you were gone.

I woke up with

An empty feeling in my chest

And I remembered

that you left...

 

Words thrown like knives

buried deep in my mind.

Threats tossed back and forth

all because of miscommunication!

Give me a sign

that I once meant more to you.

Give me a sign

that I didn't dream you up.

I know there's good in you,

just like there's good in me.

So give me a sign

that we can make it all better.

 

I don't just wanna let you go.

 

But sometimes I think

about the times that you went

missing.

I wonder what you did

while you were gone.

I heard from her and him that

you've been messaging for hours...

But if I can recall

I got one message every two

I believed you when you said

you were busy.

But sometimes

you weren't at all

Though at the end of the day

everything was okay

you were still my best friend

I was yours.

 

Give me a sign

that I wasn't just a puppet

for you to make me dance as you pleased.

Give me a sign that I wasn't

just a plaything

that our friendship

meant something...

 

Or tell me...

 

Was I just a toy?
