part of me a part of me left when i met you i lost the spark in my eyes replaced by the eagerness to finally be loved as the girl i once was started to die i gained a person i thought would stay forever but i guess love really makes you blind because was it really worth it if i left myself behind? a part of me left when you texted those three words i was squealing for joy that day and that's when it started, that voice in my head telling me "what if you don't mean what you say?" while i was so desperate to be loved you were planning to leave but the things i did, i know i'll never be forgiven how could i have been so naive? a part of me left when we fell apart the arguments are burnt into my memory while you were moving on with your life i pleaded for god to put me out of my misery now i'm stuck with the ghost of you and i have to watch afar the smiles you exchange with a brand new girl shining brighter than a star a part of me left when i begged you to come back my hands trembling with every text sent you promised it would last forever but i know that's not what you meant but the part of me i thought i lost with you started peeking through the curtains like early morning sunshine brushing my face it left me feeling uncertain the part of me i really believed was gone it feels like it's coming back like the leaves growing after a ruthless autumn it's filling me with the love that i lack so maybe, just maybe the part of me is here after so long what if just hidden under a pile of our memories... that part of me has been there all along?
