I got over it

I feel like I'm going to peel over and die any day now.

Sometimes I turn on the radio to help take the hurt away of you leaving me.  Sometimes it works and I think about other things and sometimes it doesn't and I break down into tears.

Sometimes I watch my friends as they are with their significant other and I can't help but miss you.  I watch and listen and see how close they are and I start to miss how close we were.  Before, we were able to talk for hours about practically nothing...just as long as we were talking really.  But now, I'm lucky if you even call me just to say "Hi".  I remember a day wouldn't pass by that you didn't call me in the afternoon just to talk for a half an hour or so and we would see each other later that day and when I got home you'd call my cellphone just to say goodnight.

And now when night time rolls around I stare at my cell phone and hope that you'll call...but I just end up falling asleep and then waking up the next morning realizing you never called.  And that you are no longer in my life and that maybe it's really over.

The only thing that is helping me get through all of this, is what she did to me.  

She left me just like you did.  I remember feeling like I was going to die.  I didn't think I would make it.  I thought my friends would read the newspaper the following day with the front page headline reading:

"Lonely Man Dies of Broken Heart"

And actually I listen to pretty much the same songs that I listen to for you.  And I missed her the same way I missed you.  And you know what?  I think I loved her just as much as I loved you.

So, no, I don't think I'm going to peel over and die any day now....but it sure does feel like it.

Just as long as I keep in mind the fact that

I got over her...so I'll get over you.
