Nothing But Just Empty Words

Take it from me
Someone who’ve waited
Waited for someone
To come around
To make them see some sense
To make them realize
That it’s their loss
That they left me
And someday
They’ll be back
They’ll crawl back to me
And I’ll just stare blankly at them
And say “No, I won’t take you back”

But then
That’s just nothing but
Empty words
Because I know
Deep in my heart I know
I’ll take them back
Without a word
Without asking a question
No amount of explanation
I’d gladly take them back
Because yes,
I’m stupid
I’d still want them
Even if they don’t want me
I’d still care for them
Even if they don’t care
About me that much

But then surprise, surprise
Oh no, it’s not a surprise,
I think I already know
Deep inside I know
That they won’t be back
That it’s their choice
To leave
And the decision
It’s irrevocable
It cannot be changed
And I just wasted
Time went down the drain
With bated breath
I waited
I waited for nothing

But then one night
Oh, I think it’s already
Morning, I guess
I just woke up
No, wait I was still awake
Yes, I realized
Oh, what a fool I was
Why wait for someone
Someone that belong
Only in the past
When I still got a
Present in front of me
Why wait for someone
When there are people
Who stayed with me
When I’m grieving
When I’m too impossible
To deal with?

But I guess
You cannot blame your heart
For wishing
For hoping
Because sometimes
Heart wants
What it couldn’t have
And we tend
To long for that someone
Who’s not with us
And forget those
Who stayed by our side.
