ooking, I see reminders,

Reminders of things long past, Reminders of us. I try to block the memories, But it’s hard to ignore the loss of… Such a wonderful person. So I say I don’t care, Because sometimes caring, Does more harm than good. I say I don’t care, Because it’s the hard way out, Disguised as the easy way out. If I don’t care, Then I don’t have to deal with it, But if I don’t care, why do I feel this way? You broke your promises, And for that you are a liar, But I’m also a liar for lying to myself. I want you back, But wanting you and not having you is worse than anything, So I try not to want you. But it doesn’t work, Because my love was true love… True love never dies, it just hides. So I can lie to myself, And I can lie to you too, But I guess that it makes me no better than you. So when I act like I don’t care, Remember that I’m lying… Trying to save myself from pain.
