Getting rid of a ghost

I subconsciously ignore the moments I see you smile.
Look away from my phone when your name appears on my dial.
Cringe when I see you in my recently deleted file.
Walk away from you cause I haven't seen you in a while.
It's hurts.
To think that I never got the chance to explore the situation,
Never got to get to the destination.
With you I had no expectations
Or explanations
Of why I wanted to be around you.
I really just wanted to see us through.
I want to be rid of you the way you are of me.
At times I thought I was inadequate
But now it's clearer than day for me to see
That your indecisiveness makes you bound to quit.
Yet, I can't seem to fit
The idea of you and I not together because I would hate to see us apart.
It's like you have played a part from the start
That wired my heart to only draft a spark between you and I.
I want to forget about you the way you have forgotten about me.
I have this facade
That I keep as a guard
Blocking the output of my emotions
But, the devotion I had into putting us into motion
Turned out to damage me more than an explosion
Of sorts, I came to realize you were my last resort to true happiness.
I want to be rid of you but how dare you take my chance of happiness.
