Secrets of an Introvert

Distraction

You were my distraction
From everyday life
But what do I do?
Now you're not here to end my strife

A small part of me
Is totally lost without you
Sometimes I think 'what's the point?'
When you're not here to erase my blues

Whenever I'm down and out
You're the only one I think of
But you're living on in my dreams
For me, it's just never enough

You were my distraction
Even when I didn't know I needed one
Always getting lost in your voice
In the rain, you were my sun

My heart always jumped
Whenever I saw you walking towards me
I could never really speak to you
Because to my heart, you hold the key

Of course that's long gone
You'll never really know how I feel
How much I need you still
When you're the only one with the power to heal

You were my distraction
Five days a week
Even if I saw you just the once
But now my days are bleak

Without you around I can't think
You have stolen my sleep
Every night you are there
Making me fall further deep

It's time I let you go
But part of me could never
You were the best thing I had
And now it's over; done forever

You'll never realise
That even now
You still are my distraction
It's beyond me how this I still allow

But I guess a part of my heart
Will always have a place for you
Even though our time has ended
The memories will have to do

You'll always be my distraction
As long as I'm alive
Even if I never see you again
I'm glad you were in my life

Even if only for a short time
You made my life better
And still do even now
Yet you'll never see this letter

You'll never know just how much
I appreciate everything you did
Without even knowing it
Because my feelings I always hid

Anytime I think of you
There's an increase of attraction
Because of the way you helped me
Just by being my distraction
