New Desire.

It has been months since i gave up.
I was never going to get you.
I loved you, you loved her.
You still love her though.

Now that i have moved on, i'm not drowning in sorrow.
I can drive past your street and not look down it, hoping to see you.
I can look through the year book and not catch my breath when i see your impossibly perfect face.
It's ironic that it has to be now that you give up on her.

I'm your knew desire.
But your not mine.
Your no more than an old want.
I need you to stop.
I won't be able to handle it if you change your mind.

Stop. This is unfair.
Dragging me backwards.
I dont need you.
Yet i know i want you.

Life is unjust.
Why me.
Why now.

I'm just going to let the chips fall where they may.
Let life run it's course.
Because of you.
My new Desire.
