I’m just pathetic enough

to have to stop myself

from reaching out to you

I wanted to be there

standing near the finish line

waiting for you to cross

Was even planning it

to make sure you didn’t know

and it could be a surprise

How stupid was I?

I’m glad nothing was set in stone

or I’d have looked ever dumber

than I’d be if I sent you

the message that I want to

No, it’s on you

to contact me again

I’m not the one that walked away

so it’s not my position

to be the one crawling back

Nah, I’ll give you what you wanted

a life free of me

Just know out there somewhere

that I’m still thinking of you

even when you couldn’t give a damn
