When I was yours
It hits me like a wall
The familiar smell of you
The smell of me running my fingers through your hair
The smell of when your arm would rest across my shoulders and I would feel your warmth radiating from your soft, cotton polo
The smell of a time when I was yours but you weren’t mine
The time I was addicted to the blue and grey bubbles scattered across my screen
Hooked on the sound of the fuzzy audio feedback coming from our phone calls
And craving something I could interpret as romance
When I was yours but you weren’t mine
Suddenly I snap back to the present
I try to shake you from on my mind but you’re a stubborn pain in the a**
Always were, always will be
I just want nothing more than to forget the time when I was yours but you weren’t mine
I want to pretend that my heart wasn’t broken when you handed it back to me
That it wasn’t still beating with love for you
But my love came from a time I was intoxicated on the idea of being loved by you
In the days I was yours but you weren’t mine
But I have moved on
My heart has healed and now beats for someone who actually cares
All I can do now is keep my word
And never repeat the days when I was yours but you weren't mine
