You once loved me
Not just for everything I wasn't
But for everything
I was
My loved for you poured
Like the rain bursting from the August sky
So many years of wasted bliss
And ignorance
We kept thinking life
Could never intervene
And nothing would ever come
In between
You and I, with our love so
Seemingly flawless
Never knowing how lost
Each of us really were
You helped me through the roughest times
You wiped away each tear I cried
And now those days are gone
They've passed us by
Leaving me with no more tears
To cry…
With each new day I awaken
My first morning breath is spent
Just thinking of you…
And me, and what can never be.
It's funny…
They say, "You don't really know what you've got
Til it's gone."
But I had you
And slowly I began losing grasp
It was a feeling I had hoped would eventually
Surpass
Now you're gone
I'm moving on
There's a new chapter it seems
Inside the story of me…
I can't help but regret
Leaving everything I could never forget
Behind in our past
We could have made it last…
We could have forgiven
Forgiven ourselves enough
To let love in again
I wish I'd never given you up
My dearest friend
But now as it seems
You're happier without me
That's all I've ever wanted for you
Smile and move on with your life
Don't ever think back
Don't look to the past
Or think of the maybes
Or the nights spent crying
Over anything
Hold your head high
As our entangled hearts say goodbye
And mourn over the love
We destroyed.
