A misdirection of love
Go right, continue straight, take the left up here
Go right, continue straight, take the left up here
I had been following the same directions for almost 16 years
It was boring, predictable and dull
But at least I knew what to expect
That was until you of course
A distant traveler who had taken the wrong turn and ended up in my life
We slowly began to get to know each other and eventually navigated this tricky journey called life together
The streets we walked everyday eventually turned to our memory lane
You were everything my life was missing
And you broke my heart
I tell myself that it was an accident
But that’s the thing every fault you made was accidental
Because I used to make excuses for you
You left me and that was the first time I didn’t see your faults as an accidents
I seem to keep getting lost since you left
A part of me knows that it’s because I miss turns or even take wrong ones
All in the hopes that I will accidentally run into you again
But all of me knows the real reason I do this is because I’m scared to walk through our streets alone
So I avoid them terrified that our memory’s will haunt me as I pass by
Another part of me thinks I should just be with someone else just to forget you
But that’s the one thing I hate about short cuts
There are none for evading broken hearts
