Right Guy, Wrong Time

(mmmmm) I still wake up reaching for my phone,

Half expecting your name to light it up.

Those "good morning" texts I used to smile at,

Now they're just memories I can't give up. I

miss those late-night calls that never seemed to end,

Talking 'til the sun started creeping in.

You knew every piece of who I was,

And somehow you still chose to love me then.

Life kept moving, hearts changed lanes,

But some kinds of love never really fade.

You were the right guy at the wrong time,

The one my heart still calls "mine." I was your little Native,

you were my dork,

Two souls walking the same road until it forked.

Now I'm missing every good morning text,

Every "sleep good" before we'd rest.

Even though I'm with someone else today,

A part of me still wishes you'd never walked away.

I'd give anything

just to go back and see…

The way we used to be.

I smile like everything's okay,

But some nights your memory won't let me

sleep.

I wonder if you ever think of me too,

Or if I'm just a chapter that you keep.

Sometimes I replay the little things,

The nicknames, the laughs,

the dreams we'd make.

I never thought forever could disappear,

Or that timing alone could cause this ache.

Maybe we met too early,

maybe fate wasn't through,

Maybe someday the stars will lead me back to you.

Or maybe you're just the love I'll always miss,

The "what if" I'll carry

with every wish.

You were the right guy at the wrong time,

A love I still can't leave behind.

I still hear your voice when the night's too quiet,

And my heart still starts a little riot.

I miss the calls,

the texts, the way you cared,

The little moments only we ever shared.

I was your little Native,

you were my dork,

And losing you left a hole no one could restore.

If I could turn back every hand of time…

I'd find you again,

And pray this time…

You'd be the right guy at the right time.
