Walking down the street and past your door
It’s been years since it was ever anyone’s home
Home is where the heart is and you moved out
Taking several hearts with you as you walked away

It was raining as I past which is good
The cold droplets covered up the tears
No one could see me cry as I thought of you
Then again no one else was there

Sitting down on the swings in the park
I reminisced to a time when I could hold your hand
A time when the days were just that little bit warmer
And the nights that little bit longer...

It’s hard to think of you without choking
Trying to hold back sobs somehow is harder
Especially when I know no one can hear them
But I don’t want to admit what I feel

I saw a photo of you just the other day
There were some marks I didn’t leave
My chest heated as my fists clenched
But it ended in tears as it always does

You know I love you and always have but somehow
It’s hard to believe two hearts could ever unbreak
It’s harder still to let you be the one to stitch it
How could anyone trust their heart to your hands

When they know your fingernails pierce
Your warm hands burn the sensitive flesh
Your eyes freeze the very liquid within
And your words shatter the frozen mound

Even though I know all this I can’t help but find
Myself saying words of remorse and sorrow.
My love, even after all we have been through
I have to confess I still miss you...
