The minute you turned away from my kiss,
I knew that something was terribly wrong,
The air in the room was so still,
the silence lasted a little too long.

Our eyes were trained on different places,
Mine were on you, yours were aimed down,
Tears started to well up in mine,
In that moment I began to drown.

Love is painful, love is quick,
To forgive despite a broken heart,
When you're in love with someone it
Doesn't matter if they tore you apart.

Forget the bad memories because
I want to remember us at our best,
I'm going to look back at the times,
We smiled, and throw out the rest.

Life isnt a thing to be wasted,
but lately I've been spending my time,
Thinking about things i cant have,
and putting my words into rhyme.

I wanted you to stay longer,
I thought you loved having me near,
How do I survive without you?
I need so much more than just one year.
