Only When I'm Alone

Only When I'm Alone




Only when I'm alone do I look back on how we became.
How I wish only the good memories would remain.
I try to erase the pain.
Why did we change?
Why couldn't we stay the same? 

Remembering the way you made me feel, you know
that special tingle, anticipating that rush.
Sitting here alone and the thought still makes me blush.
These flashbacks bring on a smile.
This hasn't happened in a while.

Only when I'm alone do I replay the scenes of happiness
and it makes me feel we are left undone.
Your arms I crave, your caress I miss.

Only when I'm alone do I cry, wishing it was then.
I catch myself doing this often.
