The songs that reminded you of me...
Now they don't remind me of that.
Now they
                   remind
                                  me
                                         of
                                              you.
The words you felt for me...
They mean something to me again. Meaningful,
once again.
In this continuous, strenuous cycle of pretending
to live, to be happy, i keep a firm hold on the last
ray of hope still coming into the window of my soul.
A ray of hope that illuminates my delusion, a
tattered, beaten belief that your love for me is still alive, tattered but still breathing, beaten but still soulful.
Moving on was easy at the time. i felt nothing for you, not a sliver of affection.
I have found someone else. another i never felt anything for.
However, now i feel a small, aching sensation of...regret.
I see you sometimes. in your new life. you seem happy in it. i hope i could be too...
Now i find myself savoring what little memories of you i bothered keeping.
Waiting for your return.
