All That Matters

December 21, 2008
By Anonymous

so many things left unsaid
in a box underneath my bed
a piece of your heart
a piece of mine
regrets of so much wasted time
a picture
your watch
and a heart shaped lock
that you still have the key to
an old t-shirt
that still smells like you

wish i'd had the nerve to say
i made a big mistake
i hope it's not too late
for you to take me back
im sorry
and he means nothing to me
baby why can't you see
you're all that matters to me

i'm going through this box
i should probably give it back
but i know very well
there's no way i can do that
cause i wanna love you like i used to
even if it hurts
but i know that's wrong
maybe deep down i knew all along
still wish you would call and say

i made a big mistake
and i hope it's not too late
for you to take me back
im sorry
and she means nothing to me
baby why can't you see
you're all that matters to me
