Chaotic minds,

exhausted souls,

and mourning hearts.

A state of total oblivion.

Welcome to the nightfall.

One, two, three.
In just three seconds
I fell for you.

One, two, three.
In just three seconds
you told me you liked me.

One, two, three.
In just three seconds
you said you love me.

One, two three.
In just three seconds
you promised me forever.

One, two, three.
Who would've have thought that in just three seconds
you could easily leave me.

For years they pretended.
Pretending not having feelings for the other.
Years and they pretended that the spark wasn't there.

For years they pretended.
Pretending to be fine with just being friends.
Years and they pretended that they didn't crave for more.

For years they pretended.
Pretending not to care about each other's relationships.
Years and they pretended that jealousy was never there.

For years they pretended.
Pretending, but now they finally became aware.
Years and them pretending has finally came to an end.

Or so they thought,

Now they're back at pretending.
Pretending that they never became aware.

Now they're back at pretending.
Pretending, because his lover became aware.

“How are you feeling these days?” they asked. “Your heart is broken, isn’t it?”

Drowning. I feel like I’m drowning. I’m trying to catch a breath. I’m trying to live. But no matter how much I want to stay afloat, my body just keeps on sinking. No matter how much I want to live, my body just can’t seem to cooperate. I’m just waiting to be saved. Waiting for someone to rescue me from these waters. Waiting for something to hold on to.

You once asked me that question
and all I could answer was, "I just love you."
My answer to your question might seem so simple,
but believe me when I say it's more complex than that.

My love for you is too vast,
there's no amount that can measure it.
It is by itself indescribable,
no words can do it justice.

I would say that you're my whole universe,
but to me you're more than just an immense number of galaxies.
I would say that I love you to infinity,
but I know that I love you more than what's beyond the infinite.
I would say that I could love you for eternity,
but to me even eternity seems like a short period of time.
I could write this for as long as I want,
but I know that this won't even be enough to explain my love.

So dear, if you ever ask me again of how much I love you,
know that my answer would still stay the same.
Within those four words my love remains indefinable.
Within those four words my love remains immeasurable.

"I just love you" and that is all I can say.

A man I couldn't keep.
A love I will never receive.

Even if it takes me a lifetime,
or two,
or three.
No matter how much time it takes me.
Know that I can wait for you.
I will always wait for you.

I'm sorry to force this on you.
One of us has to be brave enough to let go.
I know you don't want this.
Believe me, we both don't want this.
But this is what we need.
This is what's best for us.

We both know that this is wrong.
I know that and you know that.
We can't be together this way.
We can't love each other this way.
Not when we both end up hurting.

So, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
This has to end now.

My love, we can let go now.

There's no need for us to keep on holding on to each other.
The us right now are different from the us back then.
We were young and naive.
We were too scared of losing each other that we decided to just remain still.
However, through that process, we failed to realize that slowly we already did.

We already lost each other, and we both know that.
We can't keep on hoping for a future that's uncertain.
We can't keep on hoping for a past that will never come back.
But what we can do is to live in the present,
And in order to do that we have to let go.

I can't keep on holding you back, and you can't do that too.
I know it's hard but if we don't, we'll only end up hurting each other.
I know it hurts, trust me it hurts, but I know this will heal.
Time will pass and all of this will just become a memory.

So love, I have to let us go now.
My love, we need to let go now.

We never were together,
Never even really tried.
We were just two souls in love,
Whose lives got intertwined.

We never had an ending,
Never even said goodbye.
We were just two souls in love,
Whose lives slowly drifted apart.
