Numb

It felt like,
I had been searching for a long time.
For someone to come along,
And finally be mine.

Constant disappointments,
And terrible dates.
I was starting to think,
That was just my fate.

I gave up for awhile,
On trying to find the one.
Giving into the numbness,
I thought I was done.

Then out of the blue,
You popped up suddenly.
Like a little bright spot,
That felt kinda bubbly.

The first date with you,
Was like something in a movie.
We watched the sunset,
And the conversation went smoothly.

You asked to kiss me,
With a passion so bright.
We made love under the stars,
It finally felt just right.

You were so sweet,
With the things you had done.
Buying me lunch,
Or a bouquet and then some.

Everything felt natural with you,
As if I'd known you forever.
If only I knew,
That bond we shared would be severed.

Your words suddenly seemed warped,
Like it wasn't you.
"I didn't want to lead you on",
Please tell me this isn't true.

Tell me you didn't care,
When you held me on that mountain.
Tell me you can't hear my heart,
Tearing and flowing like a fountain.

Tell me you didn't mean it,
When you said: "Baby, I'm so glad I met you".
Tell me I'm wrong,
How can I forget you?

How can I watch a sunset,
Without feeling the ghost of your kiss?
How do I listen to our favorite songs,
When it just makes me miss--

No stop don't say,
That it wasn't real for you,
How am I supposed to feel now,
What do you expect me do?

Just another guy I guess,
Liking me for my pretty face.
Always trying to get with me,
Just to speed up the pace.

Is that all I am to these men,
Who just want a taste?
Just a girl who looks good,
But to give me your time would be a waste.

The ice is building,
Getting colder around my heart.
Numbness is all I seem to feel,
When I think about us being apart.

Do you feel any guilt or remorse?
After everything I mentioned.
You knew how broken I used to be,
And now here I am again, rejected.
