And if we fell apart
We'd be shattered like broken glass
With shards that would cut me deeper than knives
And I am given the feeling that it could not be fixed
Tired, listless, I'm also astray
For it is not just mere glass
It's us that has been destroyed
But I want you to know that I'd pick all the fragments
And try to piece everything back together
Even if I'm certain that it would hurt so much
I would ignore all the blood that I will shed
Know that I'd rather be in pain while trying to fix what is left
Than search for another or be whole again
Without you

It has been so long since we last talked
And honestly, I miss you a lot
But I have to pretend like I don't care
Because even if you knew, it won't change a thing
I always feared the day we'd part
And now, there is so much space between us
I just can't help but wonder if you have moved on
Did you already forget what you once felt before?
But one thing is certain, I know it's still you
For even after everything, I'm still drowning in my thoughts of you
I wonder if you reminisce as well
Or do you only feel regret?
Do you miss the way we used to be?
Or have you never felt more free
Once you were finally away
From me

How is it that I can't resist?
I always come back even though it hurts
How is it that I withstand all this pain
For someone who won't and will never do the same?
How is it that you could bear to watch
As all of me just falls apart?
And as I try to regain what I once had
I hurt even more than I should—
Gathering my shattered self:
Wanting to be whole again
And when I finally piece myself back together
I realize that a fraction is missing
Guess that I will never be complete
For you will always have
That missing piece of me

In our story, the princess
did not fall in love
with the beast
and his rose
wilted
along
with
him
