HE'S STILL HERE

I start my day,
Vigorously, energetically,

I work as much as I can,

I’ve kept you at the back of my mind,

Determined not to think about you,

But when I take a break,

You seep in somehow,

And all my defense is broken,

My breath comes out in a huff, I tilt my head back and close my eyes,

How do you run from what’s inside your head?

How do you get over something you didn’t even get to experience?

All through my life,

I've guarded my heart
Walked around with an “I don’t need anybody” attitude,

It has always taken me a mere number of hours to forget a guy,

But this time, I notice,

That hours are turning into days,

And days are turning into weeks,

And weeks are turning into months,

And you’re still here.
