It's vacuous of me to let go of something that might be real, you may say, And don't you worry for it's the same that I feel. There's a reason that even I, don't know, but maybe, just maybe it's pessimism that I show. I know it won't be enough but sorry I didn't let you in, I was afraid to break the wall that took me time to build. When's the time this fear finally goes away, I do not know, And as I walk through this moonlit meadow, all I think about is you, that I shan't. The thought of you won't go away, your face, your smile, your eyes that speaks, I might be foolish to let it all be just a mere memory, but it's way better than to be used to it and get my own heart wrecked in the end. Should I give it a try, I ask myself, No not again I tell myself as I watch the vision of you fade away, Tears racing down my cheeks, wanting to run to you and run away at the same time, yes I am a paradox. I want to be happy but no because I'd be afraid of sadness once again, sadness that I learned to embrace, sadness that almost felt like contentment. You are my past that were never my future, You're just another chance that I missed, You're a risk I didn't take, You're the vigor that were almost seeping in every part of me, but now I am all drained. You're something that's too good to be true. You could be mine, but I messed up, and we know for a fact I did it on purpose. 'Tis all the unsaid feelings I converted into poetry, Breaking my heart into million pieces as I write every word. You're the happiness I've been longing for but I've let go, Good bye, I don't deserve you, till we meet again.
