How Do You
by babylove6

How do you learn to trust again,
After you've been hurt so bad?
How do you make him understand
That your's was the heart he had?
How do you close your eyes at night
Without him by your side?
How do you wake up thinking of him
And now give in to your pride?
How do you forget his smile,
When it's etched so clearly into your head?
How do you forgive him for all of that,
When bullshit is all you were fed?
How do you let go of that look in his eyes
That always made you feel at home?
How do you walk away from the past
And try to make it alone?
How do you think of the way things were
Without it feeling so bittersweet?
How do you get your life back together,
When everything fell apart at your feet?
How do you stand up and walk away,
When he opens the door for you to leave?
How do you not shed a tear for him,
When you feel you can barely breathe?
How do you say "I love you" again,
When it was only true for him?
How do you keep a smile on your face,
When you've always been worn so thin?
How do you leave the comfort of his arms,
When it's the only place you want to be?
How do you come to terms with the fact
That you aren't the one he wants to see?
How do you give up everything for him,
But love him more each day?
How do you try to reason with him,
When things always have to go his way?
How do you say you hate him,
When you still want to kiss his face?
How do you move on again,
Knowing no one will take his place?
How do you believe every word he says,
When you know it's all a lie?
And how do you find it in your heart
To give up and finally say goodbye?
