I’ll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me- Expose

I take a flight to Savannah,

And I watch you paint the town

With your friends

Laughing with no care in the world.

You have no clue that I am here

Sitting by the fountain

At Forsyth Park

Gently gliding my fingertips along the water

I don’t think that you

Think of me

You’re on your own now

And I’m alone and free

I hear you laugh as you used to laugh

With me

I watch you touch someone

I cringe.

A life without you can never be right

But for you, a life without me is perfect

The air this afternoon was thick with heat

Yet, you still managed to dress perfectly

I got to move on with my life

As you did so with no missteps

Maybe you fake loved me?

Maybe you lied?

I’ll never know, truly.

So, I’ll watch you from time to time

Go on with your life

While I try to heal

No matter,

As long as the stars shine down

From the Heavens

Long as the rivers run to the sea

I’ll never get over you

Getting over me

I have come to accept

My fate

I stand up and glance one more time

In your direction

As I push all my feelings away

And succumb to numbness towards you

You got what you wanted or

Needed from me

And I’ll forever be half empty

Walking this earth.

I put on my aviators

As you briefly look my way

I turn my back towards you

Finally accepting my own exit.
