There used to be a you and I.
What i thought was something that would last forever.
We were together for a year or two.
I got comfortable, assumed you were thinking forever too.
I was so completely in love with you.
You would come and see me when you were on leave.
we would connect in everyway.
It broke my heart everytime you had to ship out again.
I would write to you everyday, call you up on the phone.
You gave me a promise ring.
It made me cry as you took my hand and said "you complete me."
Everything was as it should be.
Then came the day everything began to change.
You started drinking going to bars and socializing.
Hung out with people that convinced you that you shouldn't settle down.
Then you started to fool around.
Cheated on me with a girl from some bar.
Called me up to say, you needed a break.
I thought my heart would permanently be in disrepair.
It took time and the hurt started to subside.
You were gone from my life for a long time.
Then one day you came back to town.
Came to see me.
I was really hesitant to even trust you.
You were acting like we never broke things off.
Calling me baby.
Said "i missed you" smiling like the Cheshire cat.
You said "damn girl, you look so good."
I knew i shouldn't but i agreed to go out with you to a movie.
Guess you could say a small part of you was still in my heart.
Though that whole movie you spent most the time looking at me.
You took me back home saying "i wanna see you again."
You held my hand and apologized for everything you did in the past.
Said you had regrets of your shady behavior.
Started back up with calling me baby.
I started wondering if maybe we could be a thing again.
Next day i decided to stop by your hotel room thought we could go for a walk and talk.
Big surprise your bed wasn't empty.
Once again you were lying to me.
You ran after me saying i had it all wrong.
I was so angry not only at you but at myself too.
Again you came to apologize, flowers in hand.
You even had a few crocodile tears.
You said "baby forgive me, don't you see what this is doing to me?"
I looked at you like you had up and lost your mind.
I Said, "excuse me? Not this time, im done listening to more of your lies."
They spilled from your mouth so easily.
It was so clear you hadn't changed.
Everything you claimed was just empty words you thought i wanted to hear.
This is when you really tried to get creative, claimed that was just a friend in your bed.
I had to laugh simply for the fact that the look on your face was exactly as it was last time.
Do you really think anyone could believe that ridiculous line?
I could see right though you.
I knew then, never was there ever going to be another chance for a you and I.
I told you "i can see the lies even before they are out of your mouth."
This time my goodbyes were so easy.
All the feeling i once had, that i had held on to were completely gone.
You yelled at me as i walked away that i would be crawling back one day.
I looked back just as i reached my car and all i had to say was "don't hold your breath."
Your last words as i drove away were "baby don't be like that, come on."
As i drove away i gave a little wave and said " not this time im done with you.
I smiled as i glanced in my rearview mirror.
Seeing you just standing there.
I should of been sad, but i just felt free.
A peace came over me and i was relieved. I finally realized my heart no longer had a piece of you.
