It’s strange how quickly they try to forget,
How swiftly they turn to leave,
How eagerly they look for someone new,
Just to erase our shadows, to bury our ghost.

Was I just a stepping stone all along,
A path for them to find someone they deserve?
A fleeting chapter in their story,
So they could finally love and truly belong.

But I couldn't.
I couldn't even force myself.
To let go, to move forward.
How I wish, I would just be gone.

All the things I did weren't enough
If the person I once knew
Tries to find those on others
It just means that
Even if I try to do better
If I'm not the person that is wanted
It's always never enough

Paano ako uusad kung sa bawat minuto hinahanap ko siya?
Sa bawat paglipas ng araw ang nasa isip ko ay siya?
Paano maghahanap ng iba kung sa pagtatapos namin ay nagpanggap lang ako na tanggap ko na?
Paano masasanay na wala nang kami sa panahong kuntento na?
Paano naging ako na lang ang dating ikaw at ako kung ang kapalit ng pagiging malaya ay kawalan ng aking ligaya?

It stings to see her move ahead,
New crushes filling the space I held,
Seven years, a blink, a fade—
A chapter closed, or so it’s spelled.

Was I just a phase, a stepping stone,
A lesson learned, now left alone?
Her heart moves on, her life unfolds,
While I stay stuck in stories old.

I am just a nobody
I am just an ugly human
No one will look my way
No one will hear what I say

I felt this more now
After with her
I realized that I am a nobody
In this cruel world

They say it was right, the choice to let go,
When they saw me unravel, put on a show.
But was it wildness, or hurt laid bare?
Did they see the pain that brought me there?

Can they not know that I’m this way,
Because of all that they took away?
Each word they said, each quiet goodbye,
Left scars I wear, too deep to deny.

I wasn’t wild; I was trying to cope,
With memories lost, with faded hope.
They only saw what they wanted to see,
Not the ache and loss that changed me.

So let them think they chose what’s best,
They broke me down, then laid me to rest.
If they’d looked deeper, beneath the flame,
They might’ve seen my heart wasn’t to blame.

She drifts away, day by day, so slow,
While I’m bound to memories that won’t let go.
She’s healing, living, meeting someone new,
And I’m stuck in shadows, split in two.

She smiles again, while I hold on tight,
To faded moments, lost to the night.
Promises burst like bubbles in air,
Forgotten whispers, no longer there.

She moves with ease, and I fall behind,
Caught in the ties I can’t unwind.
Her world expands, while mine stands still,
Haunted by dreams I can’t fulfill.

So here I stay, as she walks free,
A memory chained, lost at sea.
She’s found her light, her life ahead,
While I’m left with words unsaid.
