Even When We're Apart

"Even When We're Apart"
Lynnette Britt
October 12th 2005

Today you stood me up again
I felt as though I hadn't a friend
But it was just as expected
my heart was not, this time, affected
How do you still command my thought
run with my mind - to forget I can not
You still play with my emotions
and I just go along with your notions
I set myself up just like you plan
With the hope that you'll still be my man
On the natural naivety of a 19 year old girl
My hearts weakness you unrelentingly unfurl
You know exactly what to do
To make me always pine for you
To see me all twisted and distraught
It seems as though my sadness is sought
Or why would you carry on this way?
Because you knew I would obey
I would fall for it every time
I can not realize your reason and rhyme
So Even from afar you keep hurting me
Maybe someday I'll wake up and see
Although I can see it right now
But stopping it I do not know how
For you will always own my heart
Even when we're far apart.
