You can't force this on me anymore
There's nowhere to go back
To that light of yours that was so appealing
I don't want to get hurt again, I'm begging you
Just forgive me, and I'll be leaving

I'm sorry, I can't feel it too
I've been waiting for you for so long
I'm sorry that I got used to being alone
Finally free from the hands of loneliness

You were the one who said,
"Everything is over between us"
You only cared about yourself
Just to get what was enough
Please don't be upset
It's better that I'll be the one to leave
As such, carrying no regrets
Gagaguhin mo lang pala ako noh? Swerte mo mahal parin kita. Haha teh joke. Haha Gago ka ba

I don't have much time to go
But before I have to let you go
To part as friends as I failed to let my feelings show
I ask myself, how could so many chances I forego
And when was the moment to feel just right to let you know?
That those times we spent together is all that I can think about
It's so hard to believe from this day on, we'll be apart
I guess it was all my fault, though
Thinking there would still be tomorrow
But is it too late to tell you what I feel?
Please think things through as you walk down the aisle
When the music ends you'll be with him,
As you both pledge your whole lives to each other
I can't bear to watch his kiss seal your union,
Knowing how things could've been instead

And though we were not alone,
I thought then our love had grown
So how could I've been so wrong?
And have that man part us both?
As he made his move, my mind foresaw,
The day would come when I can't help but let you go
I handled you with care as though you were already mine
Somehow, he took away what mattered most to me, with but a line
For his bravado, you fell and now we're here, so
I just can't help the way that I feel
That we're the ones meant to exchange those vows
Or so I thought

If you can toss that bouquet like the love I thought we had,
I'll bother you no more then wish you both well and go
It may take long
But I will try to get you out of what's left of my heart
If only you can hear what my heart says
We'd be the ones meant to exchange those vows
Now, I guess there's nothing more I can do
But bury all these thoughts in my head
You look more than beautiful as the day I've first laid my eyes on you, wearing that wedding dress.

These 2 AM feelings, I've been fighting not to let them in
I've been sick and only you can be the medicine
I know you've got a man but who am I to meddle in?
I shouldn't be even talking about this, this is so irrelevant
But I'm going to write it all down just for the hell of it
I'm lost in my thoughts, maybe I'm way ahead of it
Obsessed, yes, I guess just a little bit
If I called you right now would you answer it?
If I called you right now would you stay a bit?
I'm trying to hit you up, ask you what you're down for?
Tell me what you're feeling cause I'm trying to stick around though
Let me paint our future, you know I could be Picasso
You could be my only one and I could build you a castle
Tell me where the days went as everyday with you is amazing
I'm losing motivation, I got a love song playlist up in rotation
"Should I send her a text?" I'm filled with hesitation
Tell me that you feel it too
I'm losing all my patience
If we aren't together
Then that's so much time wasted
I got no time for these girls who're always getting wasted
You took my heart on a trip and I'm still on vacation
What are you looking for, am I that troublesome?
Wrote you a poem before, and here's another one
Another love poem and you're not even mine
You cross me off your list but you're still crossing my mind
But don't you worry, I'm fine, it's just a little late
When these vibes come on I feel a certain way
If I came through now would you let me stay?
You're my brighter days because I've long been in December rain
Lost in your thoughts, you never know where you're headed
Heart broken and I let it, I honestly need to get a medic
I said it might just go away with sleep but this awfully pathetic
I know I need to get back on the road
Feelings, they come and they go
The thing about our heart is, does it ever let go?
My last one of you.

I barely knew you back then but all the things I remember still run through my mind,
Tears on my face as I'm writing this, to imagine a place if I asked "Are you fine?"
Didn't care at all and never talked to you
There wasn't a perfect time and place to call and check up on you
Then you were gone and the only thing I recall
Was seeing your girl's face, no make up, no smile
Chaffed feelings, no emotions, nothing at all
What could I say?
How can I possibly say it's okay?
How could I not feel this anger inside me
I look at her now, and she's different
You made her this way
When you drank all those pills, it killed her
Since then I haven't seen the real her
Screaming in her pillow, could you tell me that you heard her?
Even when she smiles, can you see that it still hurts her?
They might say that it's wrong to be bitter
But the more that she drank, the more she got sicker
And I'm no better, but she's killing her liver
You thought she would be better
But it's getting worse
Hollow like the bottle she's holding
She's trying to sleep but she can't until it's the morning
Everyday is another ******* performance
These pictures and memories is what she's been holding
She's blaming herself for the reason you left
You took every pill but she's the one who's feeling the effects
Families in pieces, and your friends are a ******* mess
You left all your pain and you gave it to them
What did you think would happen?
Thought it would be easy like she would just move on?
She's hanging out with her friends like nothing is wrong
Trying to be strong but the moment you left, she was already gone
Forgive me for my honesty, it's a blessing and a curse
It's a medicine that hurts and it's the only thing that works
Who could understand the **** that you went through?
It hurts because I'll never get to,
Look you in the eyes and say
"Jacob, I get you. Don't let the stress get to you."
You left so much scars that are here to stay
The stars don't look as bright when you decided to go away
So much pain that I see even till this day
They start thinking about you when it starts to rain
If you want to go and take an exit, then fine. Go ahead.

Do you spend nights wondering about the all things you could've been?
I barely know you and yet I did all the things I did
I settle in these thoughts, thinking I shouldn't have meddled in
But you gave me a call saying you regret letting me in
It's funny, you're not the only one with a past
You see a smile on my face, and all the green in my grass
Halos and wings is what you think I have
But what you see is an act, everything is a mask
Don't you ever tell me you're too broken for me
I got pieces of broken mirrors I'm never willing to see
I couldn't tell you this the other day, I know you wouldn't believe
But you're perfect for me, there's not a thing you need
But no matter what I tell you, I swear you never listen
All you say is I wouldn't get it
"You don't know me, just forget it"
I know you're brokenhearted with a lot of regrets
I know you've been trying to fix what came to be a mess
Trying to sew together of whatever is left
We're both just two emotional kids trying to feel something again
I wrote you a text but I never got the courage to hit send
It's hard to tell you that I've been through it too
I know when you're trying to be together but ending up breaking as two
You begin believing in someone so much you don't know what to do
To a point you're looking at a mirror, asking yourself, are you really you?
Your insecurities trying to find security
Start giving them a love you never really had like it's a piece of charity
I don't want to hear another promise, I just want you to have some clarity
I don't know where I was going with this. But to anyone who needed to hear this out, good luck.

— The End —
