In love with a Ghost
I’m in love with a ghost
I wait at my usual post
Of course i’ll make excuses for why he didn’t go
I’m in love with a ghost
Although he shows absolutely no interest
He always says he loves me the most
Barely makes an attempt to meet me though
But I’m on his list of priorities…
just one step below
I’m in love with a ghost
These ones I fall for the most
The ones that give nothing
Yet my eyes imagine it’s everything
I’m in love with a ghost
I swear I don’t need to be diagnosed
He loves me
He texted me 10 hours later, see?
Look at the promises he never keeps
It’s always the thought that counts
Lets remember the good he has done
Let’s raise a toast
To my loving ghost.
