Into someone else
With someone else
Not me
Not anymore
But when you're lying next to your future
And he mentions me
Don't falter
Push away the memories
Do not lie though. Tell him who I was to you
Don't give your opinion about me, he didn't ask for it
Dont tell him how I ran my fingertips into your lips
And when he leaves your bed, don't take out that ring that you should have thrown
Tell him you love him now but don't tell him I still linger in the dark corners of your mind
Tell him he's your present and may even be your future but don't tell him that your mind often wanders to the past
Tell whoever you chose to fill your life with after me that you're happy now
Don't tell them about the nights your pillow took on your tears and you wished it was my shoulder
Don't tell them that when you make coffee you still think the way I preferred it
Whoever they are, smile for them.
Never let them know, they won't replace what you and I used to be.
