Five years we were together,

Through high school and into UNI

Then I see you walking, smiling and laughing

Not with me. Who did you say was Amanda?

Three times, you see other girls

Three times I forgive you for it

Three times my heart breaks again

And three times you make promises again and again.

You come to me in the night

I wake up with traces of your scent

I wish you would be closer

But there’s Amanda who you deny to me.

I want you there, even though you aren’t

Your presence is enough love to me

Your arms around me the commitment I seek

But couldn’t you just be a little closer?

Even though you’re still with me.
