"I'm giving up on us."

Exactly the same words
I said about a year ago.
Hoping we can still work it out.

Here I am saying this for the last time,
"I'm giving up on us."
With no hopes if we could still get back together.
But with hopes that someday,
I will not be saying those words again.

You told me,
"I don't deserve someone like you."
"You're just too good for me."

I don't believe you darling,
I know you wanna say that you don't like me at all.
You just don't wanna hurt my feelings..

"Hi, it's been a while Josh."
"You look very different since we broke up."
She said as she approached me.

"Uhm, Hi, Do I?"
"Maybe I just learned how to take care of myself, when the one who said it left me behind."
I replied, smiled then walked away.

Isn't it an amazing thing?
How poets turn pain to poems.

And how poems connect
people with the same pain.

That's why I write,
So I can feel I'm not alone.
