Pieces Of My Soul

I still see the pictures on my phone,

Of sunsets we chased, highways we called our own.

You never said you loved me, but you held my hand,

Like I was the only one who’d understand.

I never asked for promises or forever rings,

Just a little honest truth in the little things.

You showed me pieces, but never the whole,

Still, I gave you all the pieces of my soul.

You weren’t ready, but you treated me like your girl,

Like I was something special in your tangled world.

I fell for the spaces where your heart wouldn’t go,

In between the lines, I loved you more than you know.

There’s a woman in your past, you said she still calls,

And a boy I never got to meet at all.

But you met my daughter, saw her smile so wide,

Like two worlds could blend, even if they never tried.

I never asked for promises or forever rings,

Just a little honest truth in the little things.

You showed me pieces, but never the whole,

Still, I gave you all the pieces of my soul.

You weren’t ready, but you treated me like your girl,

Like I was something special in your tangled world.

I fell for the spaces where your heart wouldn’t go,

In between the lines, I loved you more than you know.

Now I’m left with memories, like songs that don’t quite end,

A heart half-open, a love that couldn’t mend.

You’re a chapter I keep reading, even though I should’ve turned the page,

A bittersweet reminder of a love that never stayed.

You weren’t ready, but you treated me like your girl,

And I gave you all I had in that complicated world.

I fell for the spaces where your heart wouldn’t go,

In between the lines, I loved you more than you know.
