You say you’re over me 
But when you stare, I see 
Your claim is true? 
Is it false? 
Missing you and your calls 
So sick of missing you 
Haven’t I given a clue? 
My cheeks, red from crying, your name 
Missing your voice wasn’t the aim 
Knocking at the non-existent door that used to be you and I 
Now I just daydream with an open eye 
I know we fought 
I admit that’s not the way I was taught 
But the texts you used to send 
Would make my heart bend 
Now we are lost 
I didn’t know that you being gone would be such a cost
