Bottled-Up Confessions

Remember Me

"If you love someone, let them go. If they don't come back, it was never meant to be."

***

Remember Me

I stood there in front of you,

Praying I would change my mind

But I already knew deep down

That it wasn’t gonna happen this time

And you held me in your arms

Until I ran out of tears to cry

You watched me walk away and leave,

Leave everything we had behind

It was never so simple, so easy

It killed me to let you go after all this time

Know that I loved you then and I love you now

I never could breathe without you by my side

You made every day feel like the best day

You were special even if you couldn’t see it

You were fearless and made things change for me

But I had to go even after all those deep feelings

It wasn’t supposed to end this way

We were meant to be together

But things happened and people changed

I never knew there was an end to forever

It wasn’t anyone’s fault

We tried so hard to work things out

But nothing we could’ve said or done

Would’ve saved us from the fallout

And I’m sorry, so sorry

I shouldn’t have closed the door

I should’ve tried harder, but I couldn’t  

I didn’t want you getting hurt anymore

There’s not a day that goes by

Without me missing your arms around me

Missing your beautiful smile and careless laugh

Missing those nights when you had said you loved me

Six months gone; I know you’ve moved on

But remember me, remember the girl

You’d spent every waking moment thinking about

Remember how I used to be your whole world

Never forget me, please

Even when you’re married and have children someday

Always keep the pictures I gave you

To forever remember my name
