I once love a girl,
So pretty, and smart.
She felt like, everything,
Like, I don't need a single thing.

This girl, the first time I saw her,
Indeed, I fell in love with her.
Her eyes, it's just, the most pretty ones,
And I can't afford to lose that.

And everything and everything,
I gambled it, every single thing.
I confessed my feelings,
Only to know,'I don't love you' you're telling.

I cried, I nearly died,
With this pain, it nearly crushed my heart.
My everything, my world.
It sure fell apart.

I lost her contact,
For more almost a year.
But my heart just keep beating,
"Hey *******, go find that girl" it's screaming.

I searched and searched,
Until then, our paths have crossed.
Her eyes, it's still the same,
Her voice, felt like nothing have changed.

I asked her with all of my might,
"I love you, do I have a chance?"
She then looked down,
As my tears fall like the rain.

But then I smiled,
"I love you, and you're free now,
I know, you didn't love me,
I can tell, somehow."

She just smiled, and hugged me tight,
In the cold, silent night.
I cannot keep a silent sigh,
My heart, it feels it's getting crushed.

And now again, we're strangers like then,
I bet she's happy, with herself that she's been.
And now I learned, what it means to love someone,
It's not to hold strong, but it is to let go.
Because if you keep a bird held in your hands,
It will break its wings, and will never learn to fly.
