Oh, I saw you downtown
With the man you told me you love
Wearing that long white gown
Ready to give your vows above.

Oh, I saw you downtown
I'm with the man I told you I love
Look how fast we have grown?
How are you doing my old friend?

Remember when we lived uptown
How we lied down to see the stars?
How we named each of them?
How we painted them in your walls so dear.

I remember how we
Carved our names on that tree
How we promised forever will be
Why did you have to leave?

But I'm sorry that I left
Like how your father wanted
How he told me I'm worthless
So I made worth of myself.

You didn't tell me a word
I waited hours, and days, and months
Hoping you'd knock at our door
But you didn't came why?

I came, I knocked, but why?
No one was there to open for me
Then I saw you from afar
With the man you seem to love.

In my despair he loved me
He came in when you left me
We carved our names on that tree
The tree where your love left me

You're still my love my dear
I did it all for you
That one day I'll come back
And we will get this through.

Maybe you didn't love me at all
All you did was flattery
That when time comes I'll fall
You'll play your games on me.

I've cried every single night
I've left you there to be
Numbed with all the pain
The pain you felt because of me.

I've cried every single night
Since the day you left me
And now I've moved on
Stronger than I used to be.

And now you're there downtown,
Exchanging vows in that long white gown
With the man you told me you love
Now grief is all I have.

And now I'm here downtown
Wearing this long white gown
With the man I told you I love
Happiness is all I have.
A sad soliloquy of both man and woman to each other
