Memories

Memories of my times with her,
Linger in my head.
Those times I never felt any pain,
Unlike the way I do today.

Her smiles, her glances,
Her stares, her laughs,
Oh, how I wish I could relive
those memories once again.

She’s no longer mine, oh hell,
she never was to begin with.
What in the world was I thinking,
when I loved her the way I did?

These memories in my head,
just don’t seem to want to leave.
Just like how this heart of mine,
doesn’t want to feel the deal.

I just can’t accept the fact that,
she says I’m too good for her,
and she chooses instead a guy,
who is way too young for her.

As I lie here thinking,
I feel like I’m gonna blow.
But man, oh man,
I just can’t seem to let her go.

The way she said those words to me,
I never will forget.
But since I’m the better of the two,
Shouldn’t I be the best bet?

I hid my tears and I hid my pain,
there’s nothing more to do.
When you realise that all you did,
was in fact just doing you.

I told her that I understood,
I wished her all the best,
and I wonder why I’m being put through,
this very terrible test.

She’s the only one I’ve ever loved,
and maybe ever will,
Now I pray that she returns,
Coz I’ll be loving her still.

These memories, they’ll never fade.
They’ll haunt me even as I sleep.
As I toss & turn I realise that,
everything runs too deep.

My friend’s out there, listen up.
I’ve got to save you before you fall.
Keep your hearts under lock & key,
Coz the writing’s on the wall.
