I loved you once.
I love you still.
Get out.
You're where you need to be, and I'm where I am.
This is where life decrees we must be.
This is what life decides we must do.
Why are you in my head?
No word, no sign...I don't really want them.
It would hurt too much.
Why are you still here?
You don't belong any more.
You were never mine to keep...
Just as I could never stay with you.
The cost was too high.
Leave me alone, let me sleep in peace, let me dream of other things.
Let my everyday life nag me with its worries.
Let my life be MINE again, let me be!
GO AWAY!
I miss you...
