Strife

Sometimes, at night, I think of you
            (like every night)

I don't want to, in fact, I'd love never to think of you again.
            (Except I always will)

But, every once and a while, there you are, creeping in from my past
            (because everything reminds me of you)    

Sometimes, it is to see how I am,
More often, it is to remind me that I had it all,
but my goddamned pride got in the way,
and you are happy...
                    ...without me.
                   (...with her.)

But, just so you know, you can stop reminding me, because,
I know you are happy now.
If you weren't, you'd still be here with me.
           (and I would be happy.)
