It's All in the Past

We were happy with each other, careless and contented.
We vowed that we would love each other until the end.
But when time passed by, your feelings eventually faded.
Leaving me hurt and broken-hearted.

You're not here anymore. Your warmth and comfort are not here anymore.
Our memories that I kept in my heart leaves a scar.
As long as you were one of those, I'm okay with it.
As long as you're happy with someone else, I'm happy.

I loved you and you loved me back.
Our love was like a romantic book.
But when we flipped the last page,
We came to an end.

Everything that we did together became a lasting memory.
But as I held on to those, it only leaves me in sorrow and agony
I always hang my head with the weight of the memories.
I don't want to let go and keep on cherishing them.
Because those were the only things that I have left.

Do you also treasure our memories?
Do you also get hurt when you think of me?
Do you also cry yourself to sleep every night?
Do you also miss me even a slight?

I get hurt if I see you with other women.
The tears in my eyes threatening to fall
But I shouldn't because I don't have the right to.
But why do I still love you?

Although it hurts, I still hope that you will come back to me.But I have to let go in order to move on and be happy.But I just couldn't do it.Because my feelings for you are so strong that It can't disappear easily.

I'm not the person you used to know anymore.
Ever since that day, everything has been wrong.
Under that cheerful attitude and smiling face
Is a person, broken and afraid.

Why did we even break up?
Was I not enough for you?
Did I not treat you like you're the only one?
Or, did you just got tired of me?

If it's not too late, can we go back again?
Can we go back to those times where we were safe in each other's arms?
Where we lived life without worries?
Where we loved each other unconditionally?

Life is really hard without you.
The cold world is what you shield from me.
And the good things are what you only let me see.
But now, you're just another memory.

Tears always fall from my eyes
The only thing that comforted me was the rain from the sky.
My life was filled with sadness and pain.
Not even sure if I can still live in vain.  

Well, you don't have to come back, just leave
I have no regrets from loving you, so just take the good memories
You don't have to stay
I'm okay 

Be happy with her.
She has everything that I did not.
But if she hurts you,
Sorry, but I won't have a slot.

So, just smile like nothing's wrong.
You have someone beside you, so be strong.
The tears will dry up eventually.
And you will slowly forget me.

It must be hard, forcing yourself to not let go of our relationship.
But it's okay if you eventually slip.
I know, you can't stay in love with someone for a long time.
But did you even try?

I thought I was good at letting go.
But here I am, still can't move on.
even though you're doing fine without me
On the inside, I'm still dying.

How come I didn't know the pain that comes with breaking up?
Although you don't love me, I can't seem to stop.
My love turned into selfishness that imprisoned you.
Yet I still pretended that it wasn't true.

Letting go is really hard indeed.
Having sleepless nights and crying in times of need.
This is not what I expected it to be.
Eventually, I realized that what happened is reality.

Who was I to force you to stay with me?
I guess I was blinded by love that I couldn't see.
Is it my heart that was really longing for you?
Or is it my selfishness?

Time has passed and now, I have let you go.
My love faded away like smoke.
I eventually got used to the fact that you were not here beside me.
Now free from the past that chained me.

I've been madly in love.
I've been hurt.
And that's enough.
Now, you're just a figment of my past.

At least, you were my happiness for a short time.
But because of you, I have learned my lessons.
Loving someone may have pros and cons.
So remember, think before your actions.
