These endless dreams of you beside me never cease,
A fleeting joy turned nightmare when I wake alone.
How do I continue without you near?
How do I move past the joy you once brought?

Regret fills me for burning bridges, now gone,
Memories haunt each day as if we just broke up.
I lie to myself, pretending I don't need you,
Yet you were the missing piece that completed me.

Now, emptiness lingers where once you filled my world,
Yearning to reclaim what's lost, though it slips away.
I should have moved on, why do I still hold on?
Guilt seeps in for feeling this amidst a new love.

You were my everything, now I'm shattered,
Incomplete without you, left in broken fragments.
I thought this girl would be someone I was gonna marry. I knew her for more than 10 years, but after her brother died with cancer and my grandmother passed in a month span, we started to having issues constantly. She became someone that wasn't the person I knew and loved. Eventually, she broke up with me and I didn't handle it well. I thought if I can't be with her anymore, then I have to burn every piece of that bridge that leads back to her. I have regrets, it's been over 3 years and I still haven't fully gotten over her. I should have gotten over her by now, specially since I have a new partner. I hate myself for feeling like this while with her.
