why
Why did you hurt me?
" I'm sorry I hurt you,
I won't do it again, I guarantee.
Believe me, what I say is true. "

Why did you lie to me?
" I'm sorry that I did,
this isn't how I wanted it to be.
I'm sorry for the secrets I hid. "

Why did you do it?
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
Yet, I won't give up on you, I won't quit.
You know I'd never want to hurt you. "

Why do you keep lying?
" That was just one time
and I'm sorry that I lied. "
When has loving ever been a crime?

Why? tell me why?
I don't know why I still even try
to love you when you lie
I guess we'll never know why.

I think about how
you used to hold my hand.
I think about it every here and now,
how things didn't go as planned.
Do I miss you?

I still have our picture in my wallet
and your shirt in my closet
I panicked when I lost it
like how I lost you bit by bit.
**Do I miss you?
i'm not sure if i miss you.

That photo of us,
it doesn't make me smile
like it used to.

That video of us,
it doesn't make me laugh
like it used to.

we, ourselves,
we don't talk anymore

**like we used to.
we're not who we used to be anymore.

I don't know how
but some people seem to confuse these two

I want you to know
That I'll always love you.
I'll watch you grow
as you do the things you've wanted to.

Just because our thing has come to an end
it doesn't mean we've stopped caring
although we have our broken hearts to mend
to love again is something we'll be fearing.
just wanted you to know.

I loved him.
I tried to give him all I could but failed.
I tried to be the *light
in his world so dim
and I wanted to be the air he inhaled.

This love was one-sided.
Was I not good enough?
Was that why it was so unrequited?
Was that why you were acting so tough?

Didn't you love me?
Atleast at one point?
Why couldn't you see
that hopes tend to disappoint?

You didn't love me as much I loved you.
I tried to force my brain to believe that you did,
and I did believe that you loved me, too.
but that's just one of the many lies that you hid.
you never loved me the way I should have loved myself.

have you ever had to decide
between leaving or getting left?
Well, I have tried
to choose which was the best.

I wanted to be left
but they wouldn't let me.
i wanted to be there for his whole quest
but they couldn't agree.

I had to leave.
I didn't want to but they made me.
You wore your heart on your sleeve
just so that I could leave guilt-free.

So tell me, did I make the right choice?
did i not use my voice?
Would you rather leave or be left,
and leave every word unexpressed?
I never meant to leave
