So, because I can't claim ownership of anything/anyone, I have to write down all these crazy ideas that I come up with in my mind and turn them into a work of art for your enjoyment. Which I hope you all actually do enjoy.

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
But these four walls close in more everyday
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Randy Orton watched from afar as Trish Stratus and Dave Batista shared a passionate kiss, which once again reminded him of how much he screwed up. Six months ago, that would have been him on the receiving end of her sweet kiss. But now it was his best friend. He couldn't blame her, though. Dave would have never done what he did.

Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

On the outside, it seemed as if losing Trish didn't phase Randy at all. But on the inside, it was tearing him up. Trish was the best thing that ever happened to him, and losing her was the worst. She turned his life upside down, and changed him in a big way. Before Trish, he was never a one-woman man. He lived a bachelor's life; women coming in and out of his life all the time. When he got with Trish, she was the only one.

Why didn't I say
The things I needed to say?
How could I let my angel get away?
Now my world is just-a tumbling down
I can see it so clearly
But you're nowhere around

There's so many things he should have said, but didn't. He hated himself for that because maybe if he had said some of those things, she'd be in his arms instead of his best friend's. She slipped through his fingers just like that and it was obvious that she wasn't coming back.

The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me
(No one knows)

So many nights, he lie awake, unable to sleep. He missed the warm body next to him and having someone to hold onto during the dark hours. He missed waking up to a bright smile and comforting morning kisses. He missed every little thing about Trish, from the way she always waited until the last minute to get ready, to the way she always had to have the window seat on the plane. He missed her contagious smile, her heart-warming laugh, and the loving way she looked at him. But most of all he missed her. He missed being with her and spending precious time with her.

How blue can I get?
You could ask my heart
Just like a jigsaw puzzle
It's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say
Just how I feel
A million years from now you know
I'll be loving you still

Regardless, Randy was always going to love Trish because she changed him in a way that no other woman could. She was the only woman that ever really meant something to him. She was the only woman he ever loved. Every other woman was a one-night stand that meant absolutely nothing to him. But Trish was different... she taught him how to love.

The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

Randy sighed deeply and shook his head. He knew how bad he had screwed up, and chances were that Trish would never be apart of his life again. That was just something he was going to have to learn to except.

Nobody
(The nights are lonely, the days are so sad)
No one knows
(And I just keep thinking about the love that we had)
Nobody knows
(And nobody knows it)
But me
