It Has Always Been You

Forgotten face from forgotten times

A reminder of love given but not returned

Out of nowhere you ruin my happy ending

I can't say no to you

No matter the consequences

Quick and hushed, behind closed doors

So much at stake for just a few minutes

But it is you

It has always been you 

Life moves on and cirucmstances change

But it is you

You remind me of simpler times, better times

Times when I knew you and knew myself

Now I am lost into the needs of those I created

My heart waited for you, but found another

In the still small spaces though you will always be

For now I will sit and wait behind lighted screen

Waiting for you to notice me again

Watching you mess it up again

Because it is always you
