Your number

I thought I should erase 
your number from my phone,
to help get you off my mind,

but I couldn't find the strenght 
to fool myself and hit that button,
for all the good it would have done.

Yes, it's true, it would have been easy
to remove your number from my phone,

but your memory from my heart,
I dare not fool myself into thinking
would be so easy to forget.

I've just grown so weary of the chase,
and have finally given up on this dream.

For I have nary the strength
to dream the dream
and have lost sight of it altogether. 

I did want so, to get near to you,
but it wasn't to be, you said.

and try as I might
I just couldn't seem
to find my way into your life.

I can hold my breath on longer
and must break free of the spell
you hold on me,

to find my self again,
alone as I may be.
