Leaving someone behind without totally hating them.

And the endless dreams colliding with reality
Stopped the day I said goodbye
After having my eyes set in the past
No future could I contemplate
For only you could be my love
My life, my everything
And when you left me,
I took what was left, nothing
I loved you yes,
I loved you with unknown passion
I loved your body, soul, and mind
The very essence of your being
So perfect… too perfect
I suppose that is the reason you left me
You realized I was beneath you
Hardly worth your time
But I do want you to know:
That as long as I was with you I was happy
That as long as I was with you I was willing to believe
That maybe life did hold meaning
That maybe someday I could look into your eyes
And see the same love I had for you reflected on yours
But I was wrong
I was so idealistic on what we were supposed to be
I forgot what we are and as humans
We get caught in the foolish webs
Lies and deceptions crafted by others
This is what tore us apart
I’m telling you I loved you
And I think maybe deep inside, I still do
That underneath all my anger and all my pain
There is still a part of me willing to forget
Just to see you here again with me
But I realize now it’s too late
You tore the bridges that held us together
And that unless you were willing
I couldn’t get the pieces and start anew
Because you’d always hack the ties off
And there is nothing I can do but wait
Wait and pray to God to enlighten your ways
That even if I can’t have you
I wish from the bottom of my heart;
I wish you happiness
Even if it means sacrificing my own
I loved you yes and maybe because of that
I don’t want you to suffer
I hope to God that you may never have to endure this void
I feel is tearing me up on the inside
That you should walk each day in happiness
And that when you think of me
You will remember me fondly
As the one that loved you
