My poems haven't been on point lately, but oh well.
They say I should move on to a better thing,
But I'm beginning to think that's not a possibility
Cause as each day dies and a new one's born,
I feel like you're the best that could ever happen to me.
I treated you like you were something ordinary
When no other girl could shine the way you do.
I threw you by the wayside like nothing special,
Now I'm asking God how I could make it up to you.
Oh, I wanna make it right this time around, girl.
Make you feel special, wanted every single day.
I wanna sweep you off your feet again
As I wipe all your pain, all your tears away.
Yes, I wanna go back to the long nights spent
Talking about things that never even made sense.
I wanna go back to two heartbearts accelerating
In unison with a lip-locked moment so intense.
I wanna bring back cuddling and watching movies,
All the shared sappy moments and endless laughter.
I wanna go back to pinky promises and silly things,
All the happiness and dreams we chased after.
Oh, I'd give anything for one more night in your arms,
For the feeling of your head resting on my chest,
For the soothing sound of your soft, paced breathing.
Girl, it was moments likes these that I liked best.
But those moments have all gone away too fast,
And they've been replaced by only sickness and tears.
Oh, what a shame it is that forever can be measured
And only be a little less than just three short years.
Now I wish that I had tried just a little bit harder,
Made you feel special, wanted every single day.
Now I'm here wishing that I had just been faithful
So you would have never wanted to run away.
But if you decide to come back around, girl,
I'll make you feel special, wanted every single day.
You'll be my only one, my heart's full desire.
I'll do anything and everything to make you wanna stay.
I'll never give you another reason to question,
I'll make you feel special, wanted every single day.
So please, give this weary heart another chance,
Don't leave it here unattended, to grow cold and decay.
