My Feelings in Five minutes, lest i risk breaking down
You came into my life just long enough for me to get used to you being around, to expect to hear from you, to cause concern when i didn't for more than a day.
Just long enough to touch my heart, and for my heart to make a little space for you,
Just long enough to hurt
Just long enough for these tears to flow
Just long enough to make a little space in my life for you
I knew you just long enough to know your favorite color, your favorite song, what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, where you take your walks and how much you spent in town that day. It was just long enough for me to get to know who you talk with on a daily basis and a few of your more amusing conversations with "outsiders"(lol). Just long enough to know what flavor ice cream you dislike and what crazy things you put on bread, what you wear and how you feel on any given day, to know you had a place in your heart for animals and some of your experiences with them (lol). Just long enough for me to know where you had attended school, who your friends and family are, to know your pains, your hurts, your experiences. Just long enough to know most of the major events in your life, many of the minor ones, and much of the trivial day to day details.
I knew you just long enough to be unable to erase these memories from my mind.
Just long enough to be unable to clear the slate, and pretend you were never there.
It was long enough for me to begin to loosen up, and take a blow torch to this iron box i keep my heart and soul barricaded in. Long enough for me to occasionally venture out, and to allow you in - to comfort and soothe me, to sit by my side when i wasn't feeling well, to laugh with me when i found something amusing, to share thoughts and feelings i otherwise would never share with anyone.
It was long enough
(to let you in)
to call you friend
and it was just long enough for my head to recall your voice, and actually hear it, without needing the speakers on to remind me. Just long enough for it to bring a little comfort yet at the same time, haunt me
Just long enough to hurt
just long enough for these tears to flow...
It was long enough to feel the emptiness you once occupied, and to be uncomfortable with it. Long enough for that empty space to become a palpable pain in my chest...occasionally coursing through my veins like an electrical shock to my system
Yeah, it was long enough.
Just long enough to know you were going to leave
long enough to care about trying to stop you, to want to plead with you, yet respect you at the same time
long enough to know i was going to fail as a friend
just long enough for these tears to flow...
I knew you long enough to care
...and it was just long enough, to remember why i isolate, why i don't form attachments to people, why i keep others at a clearly marked and specified distance. It was just long enough to remember, why i don't' want any more friends.
