An empty room can be so deafening,
The silence makes you wanna scream,
It drives you crazy.
I chased away the shadows of your name,
And burned the picture in a frame,
But it couldn't save me.

And how could we quit something we never even tried,
Well you still can't tell me why.

We built it up,
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me,
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away,
You stole my life,
Just to find what your looking for.
But no matter how I try,
I can't hate you anymore.

Your not the person that you used to be,
The one I want who wanted me,
And that's a shame but,
There's only so many tears that you can cry.
Before it drains the light right from your eyes,
And I can't go on that way.
And so I'm letting go of everything we were,
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

Sometimes you hold so tight,
It slips right through your hands.
Will I ever understand?

Holding heart to heart conversations all day long like this with you always eases my blues. I wouldn't have a clue what I'd wind up being if there wasn't you to talk to. I couldn't feel more contented to have my bestest friend in this whole wide world be here for me and listening to my rants (and exchanging woes) instead of being out at the chalet. Virtual chats are never enough. I think you get the drift. So much love goes out to you, Cheryl Lim.
