Potential You

I want you to know
I don’t want you to go
I want you to see
Maybe we’re meant to be
I want to pretend it’s not happening
But I can hear my head screaming
You aren’t him, the man I wished
You could be, the one I dreamed of
You were different
Potential

You still haunt my dreams
And I wish you’d leave
I can’t move on
When I hear your song
Going through my head
Singing of our death instead
Of the life we knew
Potential you

I want to press rewind
And pretend everything’s fine
I don’t mind if you don’t heal
The thoughts I put into feelings
That I’m okay with being last
Looking through painted glass
Distorted because you still believe
I’d never leave you
I wish we could still continue
To be potential you
