It Was Always You

I know I should not allow you to crawl under my skin. I know I should not not allow you to seep into my bloodstream and take over my heart. I know I should have moved on by now because, let's face it, you're never coming back. 

But I can't stop.

I can't keep myself from fighting back to you through the dirt and grime you left me in. I cannot quit finding my way back to you because you are it. You are everything I ever wanted or needed, but you made your choice. 

You chose her.

I told myself I would let you go once you made your decision, but it's not that simple. You see, I made my decision years ago, and now I have to change it. I have to persuade my heart to leave you behind just as you left me behind. 

It was always you.
