It's Been a While

Feel with all your might, for it is but human to feel

It's been a while now since I picked up my bruised pride

I tucked in my self-respect and faded out of your life

I forgave your stabbing words and subdued my cries

But your indifference I could not disguise with happy lies

Every day was a new adventure in your shining aura

Your shadow falling before me was my path to nirvana

Those golden afternoons were my bread and butter

Hands sweaty, lips touching ever so lightly, hearts aflutter

Thought I was so strong, without a backward glance

I left you far behind, but this night I can't help feeling

Every kiss like a thunderstorm, leaving me reeling

One song, one line, brought me down to my knees

Tonight my heart is bursting out of its seams

Nicely done. A good description of a fallen romance. Doesn't matter who was to blame. I feel the regret at the end. One line of a song can certainly bring back old memories.
