Over time.

There you are, my story

Pretending to ignore me

Pretending I don’t exist

Pretending you never saw me

Pretending you never felt it too

Assuming I still wouldn’t.

Believing every lie

And pretending you didn’t read through.

We’ll stay a mystery

To us and them and us again

Accident that never happened

A scar in denial

A happy tear you never shed.

I’ll look at the ground

You look at the sky

We’ll never settle for

Eye to eye

I turn my face

You stare so hard

My skin’s beginning to burn now

Time heals nothing

I will never learn

I guess I’ll stand

And wait my turn

Till you’re done looking around

I hope you’d liked what you’d found

Because these are terrible times

And I simply know

That time won’t stop to

Wait for you to grow

The madness I thought

I’d left behind

I’m disappointed to say

That if you ever do turn

I still hope that

It’s me you find.
