&ldquo;Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> <br /> - Kahlil Gibran


Did you believe me when I said
That nothing else could have compared
To your embrace?

Was there a glimmer of contempt
When all the world was worn and spent
And we just lay there
Breathing

CHORUS
You must know I need you now
Just as I needed you before
But all those miles I must traverse
To end up crying on your floor
Is intimidating
Are you even waiting, for me?

I walked around inside a haze
Not quite a dream, but I’m amazed
That I’m still breathing
Without you

My fingers running down my face
To wipe away the burning trace
That I still miss you

I dream that once more I can fly
And have tomorrow pass me by
As I kiss you

And you must know I need you now
Just as I needed you before
But all those miles I must traverse
To end up crying on your floor
Is intimidating
Are you even waiting, for me?

BRIDGE
Now I know
Not to trust myself
You chose to go
The world collapsed in on itself
My vitals show
I’m barely feeling at all
You chose to go
You chose
All these rhymes that I am writing
Falling from my head onto the page
Are worlds within, dividing
Breaking free the part of me
I’m hiding

I am defeated
I’m crying on your floor
You do not see me
I’m nothing to you anymore

And you must know I need you now
Just as I needed you before
But all those miles I must traverse
To end up crying on your floor
Is intimidating
Are you even waiting, for me?

These lyrics are about my somewhat recent breakup with my boyfriend and the feelings I conceal about it.
