Broken Dog Tags

What do you most miss?
A tender kiss
or our nightly walk
or just when we talk?

You know what was stupid?
My whole idea of cupid!
That love would come my way
on one beautiful day.

In my time I've been hated
looked-past and under appreciated.
But only when I'm with you
that I realize how much hurt you do.

My dog-tags were my heart
and I thought that might have been obvious from the start
but I was missed and wrong.
So I keep living my life like a sad, sad song.

I was here yesterday,
but I am gone today.
Forgotten tomorrow
is the cause of this sorrow?

Maybe one day you will see
what you truly meant to me.
I just wanted to hold your hand
and be there so you could understand.
