When I see You

I think too much, maybe more than is healthy for me.
Except now I'm thinking about how you weren't good for me.
Yet, despite that fact you still sit contently in the back of my mind
And I smile when I see you...
...and you smile back.
I know that somewhere out there someone better is waiting.
And I accept that you're not for me.
But why must you haunt me like you do?  Why can't you leave me alone?
Every time I have a drink, or feel alone, there you are...just lingering.
And I cry when I see you.
And when you finally leave it's almost like a relief.
I can mention your name without feeling resentment or pain.
Just when I'm getting back to good...you call my phone.
It nearly floored me when I heard your voice.
I smiled.
You told me of your depression & your problems with her.
You said how you fight & how you mention me all the time.
I couldn't believe my ears when you said I messed up your head.  
Call me selfish, but I had to laugh to myself.  You should have thought before you left me.
You're afraid to be alone so I you ran to her, now you're miserable.
You might be better off alone than to be miserable all the time.
Well, maybe someday we'll see each other again.
And I will smile when I see you....
And maybe you'll smile back.
