They say it takes twice as long to forget, and move on.
Well I'm only four months down, only half a decade left to go.
When we first met, in that split moment, I couldn't help but fall in love with you.
It happened so fast, just as did out end, so I just don't understand.
Why can't my mind and heart forget as fast as they fell for you?
To stay in this state of sorrow, regret, and self demise.
Will this all swiftly leave my memories from which they etched their marks.
I wish to just close my mind, and make the change in my life.
You took everything I had I give, and now you've left me empty handed.
All I want back from you is peace of mind.
The days of feeling wanted, holding you, and embracing is over now.
Past have gone the days of calling each other only mine.
I just want to forget, and move on from this stage in my life.
Most if all you need to take your heart back from me.
It pains me day after day because the truth remains
The constant truth in this suffering is that still.. I love you.
My heart aches, it just won't let you go as you have of me, what do I do?
Can't begin to fathom things these days anymore.
Your love was so indelible to me.
Now I suppose I just wait for that last grain of sand to drop.
Waiting for the clock to run out, tick-tock, tick-tock.
I'm four months down, only half a decade left to go.
