I loved you, and we’ve been here before
In my memories, you’re bitter, sore.
Photos gone, pictures lost
Held on for so long, thought of times past
But finally I have released them
Gone from my possession, retreated -
Never to remind me again
All that’s left is what’s bled my heart red.
Memories and thoughts, your laughter echoes
I shed one last tear, scream as if you were near -
But you can’t hear me, won’t even know
How my heart felt about you long ago.
And now you’re gone
My memories will fade -
Distort and conform as I remember them
And I am sad, not because you’re gone -
Because eventually I’ll forget what we had,
And neither of us will be all that sad.
