Dwelling

I could dwell on you
As you dwell on her
Then I would miss the sunset
My first breath in the morning
Freedom would no longer rule my soul
I'd never climb out of this gapping hole
Sit here and endlessly blame myself
Think that I am not good enough
That my kiss did not steal your breath
But why, when I look in the mirror
Stare carefully at who I see
I smile for I love who is me
To me it is always my choice
To finally allow myself to heal
Not to dwell on the fantasy created
You call me amazing, your idol
I just simply call it staying alive
Making the choices I need to survive
You hold one of my most painful moments
But helped create some of the happiest
All these memories I keep so close to my heart
Knowing forever that I took the chance
Someday you will look back and feel so sad
Finally realizing the love you could have had
