Drawing circles

I miss you
But I don't miss the place
I don't miss the tension
But I miss your smiling face
I don't miss the problems
And I don't miss the fights
I don't miss the long,
dark and lonely nights
I miss the reasons
and the causes that we had
To do what we did
And never feel bad
I don't miss the excuses
That we were full of
But I miss the feeling of thinking
That I might be in love

After all this time
And all that's taken place
I can say I've walked a line
That was drawn by fate
I've stumbled side to side
It could have gone either way
But we keep rolling like the tides
Regardless of yesterday

I refuse to live each day like it's my last
That would have me too caught up in the past
I'd rather pretend it's my first and explore a new start
In the end we're all drawing circles because living life is an art

I don't miss the chances
That we let go to waste
And I don't miss the dishonesty 
of our words standing face to face
I miss the way our eyes
Would always tell the truth
And I miss the way you knew
That I could always see right through you
But I don't miss the feeling
That you acted like I didn't count
And I don't miss the times
I reached out and you weren't around
I miss all the inside jokes
Between you and me
I miss the routine
And I miss the consistency

After all this time
And all that's taken place
I can say I've walked a line
That was drawn by fate
I've stumbled side to side
It could have gone either way
But we keep rolling like the tides
Regardless of yesterday

I refuse to live each day like it's my last
That would have me too caught up in the past
I'd rather pretend it's my first and explore a new start
In the end we're all drawing circles because living life is an art
