Chapter 129 - Ghosts don't lie.

I reached out that summer,

Thought maybe we'd go back to friends.

I never saw it coming...

Should have never let you right back in.

-

For a moment my world crumbled,

Fuck, that could have been the end for me...

I held on to nostalgia,

The rest is dipped in infamy...

-

And I see now what I couldn't see...

And I feel now what I should have felt...

And I know now what I should have known...

And I stood up where I should have knelt...

-

But you left me when you should have stayed.

But I'm glad that it broke off that night...

But I should have took the signs you gave.

But you knew I had you in my sights...

But.

But.

But.

But.

But.

But...

-

Fuck that.

You can't say you're sorry.

Yeah, I won't let you kiss me...

Fuck you.

I know I'm not perfect.

And you knew we had history...

Fuck this.

I know it's not worth it.

And you just want to twist me...

Fuck it.

I'm the one who started this,

But you'll just have to miss me...

-

Yeah...you'll just have to miss me...

-

Because ghosts don't lie.

I know you think about the petty shit you pulled that time.

I know letters haunt you that you keep under your bed...

I know that you can't sleep when you have me upon your mind.

The memories are heavier than everything you said...

-

I know the flashbacks are vivid

I feel that shit, cause I live it...

I hope the next dude 

Gets the best of you

Cause fuck, you can pivot...

I hope you tell that dude the truth,

Cause most real ones just ain't with it...

I hope you miss me when you kiss him,

Like you'll never forget it...

-

Like I'll never forget it.

Like I'll always regret it.

Like my heart is indebted.

And you spent all the credit. 

And you caught me, fish netted.

I should have never have betted

Myself that I could win that heart of yours

It was always unvetted. 

I was fucking untested.

I was taken for granted.

I was overinvested.

You were in high demand 

And...

And...

And...

-

Fuck that.

You can't say you're sorry.

Yeah, I won't let you kiss me...

Fuck you.

I know I'm not perfect.

And you knew we had history...

Fuck this.

I know it's not worth it.

And you just want to twist me...

Fuck it.

I'm the one who started this,

But you'll just have to miss me...

-

Yeah...you'll just have to miss me...

-

Because ghosts don't lie.
