the love we have never fades,
because from my heart you'd never evade.
sometimes, people do suggest moving on as an option,
but I did not just love for a trend.

but here im today standing on the shore,
in the same white gown that on our marriage I wore.
and all i can think of - is you calling it off,
because your lover came back with sobs.

sobs of betrayal when she was the one who left,
and now she's come back to collect tiny pieces of you that I thought I was lucky enough to theft.

but oh! how wrong I was,
thinking you'll be mine keeping myself on pause.
i forgot the 'us' in a relationship is YOU and I
i forgot I deserved laughs and glitter instead of sobs and cries.

but it doesn't matter anymore cause you're not mine,
with her you've aged quite like wine.
you take her on dates I thought of arranging for the both of us,
and yet here I stand knowing full well I've no right to create a fuss.
you've always been sure of who you wanted,
and everyday I've been haunted.
haunted by the delusions I built,
and it drowns me in guilt.
how could I betray myself for you?
how could I just set myself to rue?

so here's the goodbye we both deserve,
while you here, high above in the heavens I shall serve.
