"Past is Present"

"Past is Present"

I'm driving forward

into the past

the present behind me

wishing the past was my last

ive still got that feeling

of butterflies when we talk

my love has only grown

next to you i want to forever walk

but it cannot be

for my past mistakes

the price i pay

for the hearts i break

I've hurt you in ways

that cannot be undone

a victim of myself

and a love on the run

the life i lost

when you walked away

showed me my mistakes

why nobody stays

but with you its different

my love is true

there's nobody in this world

that could compare to you

so now what do i do

when I'm sitting in the presence of the past

wishing every day

that you would have been my last

i want to hold you

kiss away your tears

love you like i couldn't

alleviate you fears

but this is just a poem

words written on a page

its not going to bring you back

i should have acted my age

its not about love

that much we've got

but the trust i broke

the chance would take a lot

Im not gonna beg you

or ask you to stay

come thursday afternoon

ill be on my way

im heading back home

but id much rather stay

a baby and school

i know theres no way

we dont have to be together

its just nice to see your face

but its so hard not to kiss you

i feel our love misplaced...
