I am the One

I am the one who waited, and still waits.

I am the one who never lost hope

I stayed and trusted

that someday you would return

I am the one who wishes

that it still could be.

I am the one with memories scrolling through my mind

I cannot forget and I will not forget,

No matter how much I may try

I am the one who needs it back

as I look backwards everyday.

I did not leave you in a flash

I did not betray every promise we made

I did not crush you or break you

Instead I am the one who was crushed

I kept my loyalty even after I was ruined

Even after I was abandoned.

I am the one who cherishes every moment we had

I am the one who needs it back

I still believe, even though it's hopeless

I am the one who still tries, proving my loyalty

I do not wish our memories never happened

And I do not pretend they didn't

I am the one who wishes the ending did not come.

But I do not regret my choices

I am the one who regrets yours

I am not the one to hate you.

I am the one who misses you.
