Leaving You

Sleeping in until the sun goes down
Missing you like i miss my smiles
Cuddles and kisses on those lonely nights
But this distance from you feels like 1000 miles.

My bed time T shirt smells of you
I don't know why it's still in my drawer
Maybe because I'm not sure i should let you go
But it's time to burn that one last picture.

I'll rid my memory of these feelings for you
These feeling of "love" and affection
Even though you swore i was your only one
Never did i really have your attention.

You were my best friend, my world
But it's all over and done with now
You hurt me, I'm scarred
One day you'll be sorry, feel my pain somehow.
