Wonder

By: Renee Singletary Tigger

Sometimes I sit and wonder
Just where you are right now
I wonder what you're doing
And if I’m on your mind, somehow

I wonder if you sit and wish
Wish that I were there
I wonder if you miss me, too
Wonder if you still care

I wish I could forget you
Seems a simple thing to achieve
But the more I try, the more I see
I wish you didn’t want to leave

But there’s no way to change your mind
You want to be on your own, and you want to be free
So many girls want to be with you
Why would you leave all that just to be with me?

Everyone tells me just to let you go
That you're not worth my tears or my time
I could probably do better, I know that's true
But I just can't help wishing that you were mine

I know there are guys that would treat me better
And I have every intention of finding one for me
But then the phone rings and I know that it’s you
I picture your face and your smile's all I see

I'm so afraid that I never pop into your mind
Scared that you never even think of me
All I do is reminisce of when I mattered to you
But maybe we were just not meant to be

The only thing I really know is that you're all I’ll ever need
And at the end of the day when I lie down to sleep
Your voice, your kiss, are all that occupy my dreams
I wish your heart was mine forever for me to keep

The hardest part of walking away from you
Is knowing that you won't ever run after me
And knowing that while I meant nothing to you
You meant the whole world to me
