"You"

You are the reason for my happiness
You put a smile on my face
I look past your faults
I focus on your hidden grace

No one seems to understand
But they don’t need to
Like pieces to a puzzle
You complete me and I complete you

I wish that you would let me in
That you would give me the key
Being locked up does you no good
It’s okay to bleed

You won’t fade from my memory
You won’t be the one that got away
I will wait until eternity
I promise you I will stay

But you pushed me away
And it’s such a shame
Because now I’m gone
And you’re to blame

I tried so hard to understand you
It was immeasurable how much I cared
You couldn't handle it
After everything that we shared

You made me feel useless
You act like you don’t see me
I hope you know that it really hurt
You ruined it, can’t you see?
