Linger
I know I cannot change it
 and I should probably feel regret
 but you gave me something to cling to
 and those few months I'll never forget.
 
 Everyone says that I should hate you
 and we must never speak again
 but just because we are over
 should I have to lose my best friend?
 
 I know you did what's best 
 and you never meant to hurt me
 you promised you'd tell the truth
 and you did what made you happy.
 
 You told me it was just a fling
 and I know you're probably right
 but does that mean our feelings were wrong
 and it wasn't love at first sight?
 
 We told each other everything
 never anticipating our relationship dies
 and all those nice things you said to me-
 does that mean that now they're all lies?
 
 Do you still think that I am beautiful
 that I'm the prettiest in the world?
 Or am I just another classmate, 
 some blonde hair, blue-eyed girl?
 
 I remember staying up until 11:30
 waiting for your text goodnight
 you'd tell me that you loved me
 and wish for me to sleep tight.
 
 Now, should I have nightmares?
 And consider myself ugly?
 Because everything is wrong,
 tell me, do you still love me?
 
 Is breaking up simply freedom?
 Or is it much more than it seems?
 Sit down, confess how you feel
 and tell me what breaking up means.
 
 I do not take back the things I've said,
 I still love you all the same
 I am not mad, I am not angry
 for you I have no blame.
 
 And yes, I have moved on
 it's over for me too.
 But I can't help the love that still lingers
 because what we had was just so true.
