i watch you walk away
and i listen
as the sound of your steps fade
like whispers in the wind
like kisses in the rain
and i wonder
why i can’t tell you what you mean to me
why i can’t tell you how i feel
but instead i’m stuck
stuck in a memory
when ignorance was bliss
when i didn’t know i loved you
when it didn’t hurt this much to say goodbye
and i wonder
why i’m upset when you’re here
why i’m happy when you’re gone
and i wonder
if you mean this much to me
just how much do i mean to you
