just for one more day

let me reach you one more time
just for a day, just for a moment
I know it's against my better judgment
but what can I do
this is what I've become
weak, wasted, wilted,
all my cards, folded, up to no good
all I know is the whole of me
my heart, body, my soul
has died many a thousand times
never want to live, again
so I just want to know
before I go
how's life is with her
she called me you know?
you went back to her?
and I'm truly happy
for the both of you
she even told me,
as if brushing my pain
would make her feel better
that your love became stronger
better, healthier, and this time
would never, ever end
it will, last forever
you're sure of it because
after you astrayed from her
be with me
you definitely learned

you were always for her.

if only she knew every word
she uttered
was a double bladed sword
that tore and shattered my heart

but to hear from you
I just know
it will will leave me in peace
even just for a moment
for a second, just to be with you

I wouldn't trade it for the world.
