Wanting to let go of what we shared, but never wanting to truly lose it.

Standing here looking at the pictures,
seeing all the joy we once shared in your you eyes.
Taking the wedding dress,
so I could one day sell it.

No longer wanting any memories of us,
but knowing I will always love you.
My heart is what I wanted you to have,
and in return you wanted to shatter it.

My love was all I had to give you,
but that was not what you wanted.
My past would once again come back to haunt me,
while you leaving was one of my biggest fears.

All the hurt I feel is being pushed away,
nobody can replace what we once shared.
Remembering you are with someone new,
and you never wanted me from the start.

Unable to let go of the hurt in my heart,
but knowing one day I will once again see you.
Wanting to still be with you,
even though you broke my heart several times.

My love for you can no longer be emptied,
for now I need tolet go of you.
You chose to marry her instead,
for you truly never wanted to be with me.

Remembering the life I once wanted,
but I wasn’t sure if it would turn out that way.
Knowing my love for you will once disappear,
but then I may see you again.

Fearing everything will come rushing back,
for I will be unable to stop the feelings.
Wishing I never met you,
for I would no longer feel this pain.

Seeing things that remind me of you,
while being able to feel tears swell in my eyes.
Knowing how much I still love you,
but there is nothing I can do about it now.

Hoping one day I will be happy once again,
while remebering how my life used to be.
Trying to tell you sorry for all the mistakes I have made,
but you never wanted to hear it.

Knowing I cannot let you go yet,
while knowing I must say goodbye.
Trying to start my new future without you in it,
but unable to remove your face from my dreams.
