Deadly Rhymes and Laughing Times VOL I

The Last Time We Met

I look at you and realize you shine brighter than the stars glow
I didn't realize that it'd be the last time I saw you; I didn't know
I would've cherished the memories we had and kept them close
I would've kept them a little fresh; as a final overdose

I never saw it coming because I never suspected a thing
I never thought that one day I'd be hanging on by a string
But reality hits like a cold, harsh slap on the face
And I end up hearing your voice in every corner of every place

I never knew what happened, but I'm guessing it was me...
What if I was the reason but I was too proud to see
I'll never forgive myself if I'm the reason you had to go
But if it was me, I guess there's something you should know

I'm sorry I was like that, always pushy and sometimes lost
I'm sorry for all the heartache and pain I might've caused
I'm sorry I was too stubborn to ever let you lend a hand
But what I went through; you'll just never understand

I let go of someone special just to hold on to the sand
I let go of my world to let in an illusion; so colorless and bland
I thought I was creating something special; like colorful magic
But unfortunately the final showcase was something far more tragic

I never realized back then, our worlds grazed but never collided
Despite the love we shared; albeit a little misguided
And now I'm sitting here alone on a table for two
Just looking at the door, uselessly waiting for you

But deep down I know you'll never come due to the distance
Due to the fact that you completely forgot of my existence
Your love was never a race or some sort of competition
It was my life's dream, and I made it my mission

But as time passes by, I realize you've set yourself free
You've escaped and found a life far away from me
I hope you understand it was never my intention to see you go
And I loved you more than life itself; I hope that you know

But if you love something too much, it starts to suffocate
It'll walk away - like you did - without looking back to reciprocate
I drove you away, over the edge, and I'm the only one to blame
And I hope there's no bitter aftertaste when you say my name

I might've been reckless, but I loved you with all my heart
I loved you too much that it drove us apart
I hope you find it in you to forgive me, and to forget the past
And I pray the last time we met, won't really be our last
