The things I left unsaid – Miss Clouds

It’s been some months since we said goodbye

The best choice but why did it have to hurt so much ?

No day goes by without you crossing my mind

Will I ever let you go

I’m getting nowhere with it

If I let you go wouldn’t I be letting go of that familiar feeling

That coziness that came with knowing you

The happiness I felt

Oh no, maybe it was just the ecstasy of the moments we spent together

Was it love that I had for you or just a side effect of the ecstasy

I don’t know really, but I know I felt something

Is it as hard on you as it is for me or did you find it very easy to move on from me

Do you think about me like I think about you.

Somewhere in me I feel like there is still a chance,

I don’t know call me delusional I guess but I miss you

I really do

I’m hoping I let you go soon enough

I can’t continue like this

As much as I enjoy the memories that live in my head

The thought of you that keeps me going

The one that feels like warmth

Just could be killing me from inside

Call it a silent killer
