Got Away Lover

A distance memory of a lover I could never reach

maybe there was a miscommunication

maybe I asked too much

every time we touch we can't get enough

did we consume too much?

every second I held you

you felt like you were slipping away

my grip was never tight enough

did it suffocate you?

i know I will never fully have you

i know you'll never see me the same

i know you'll never watch the time with me

everything feels like a dream

like no one will ever believe me

you've gone back to before

i am still in the after

Did you hurt just like me?

Loving a person that you'll never reach can feel like an endless climb with no reward. Every time you think you've reached the top, you look up to see it's still far away. I was never going to be good enough. He was never going let himself love me no matter how much he tried.
