All those years ago we met,
I was a fool for you.
I cannot remember a day
that I didn't think of you.
You broke me,
shattered me into pieces,
my heart lost in you.
I kept loving you,
I kept needing you.
Every word I said,
you shut me down,
then pulled me in,
then threw me out.
I knew it was wrong,
though I kept coming back,
crawling back,
running back.
I remember the days,
I used to cry,
till my eyes were raw and red.
Now instead,
I wonder why,
and regret that we even met.
If only the me now,
could face the you then,
you would have been
the beggar.
If I could turn back time,
that's the way it would be,
and I'd be with you,
never.
