A Loss

A thousand perfect yesterdays
can't ever atone
for a broken tomorrow;
make the most of today
before it passes away
unappreciated.

Take a deep breath and say his name.
Stop being a coward, stop being ashamed.
So what if I'm in love with you?
What am I supposed to do?
Bury you inside my heart,
pretend and lie and do my part?

Act as though everything's fine,
although it's not, cause you're not mine.
How am I supposed to cope?
To live this life, abandon hope?

I know I'll never be with you,
I know it's wrong, you know it too.
The guilt washes over me, then I remember...
He's not here... I'm free to feel this way
Reality begins to fray... these feelings
stay inside my head, you'll never know,
I'll know instead.
