I wish I never see you again,
not because I don't want to—
because I do.
I love you, of course I'd love
to keep you in my life forever,
but the universe has other plans,
and we're no longer meant to be.
We worked for a season,
but you were not my forever love.
I wish I never see you again,
but I hope you're happy,
that success finds you
and your dreams unfold
like the wings of a bird
set free from its cage.
You deserve the best,
and once, I was the reason
for your happiness—
but I hope you've found something
that lifts you higher
than I ever could.
I wish I never see you again,
because I don't know
what you look like
when you're not in love with me,
and I don't want to know.
I want to remember
the way your eyes
held me,
the way you looked
when love still lived between us.
I want to keep the version of you
who looked at me
like I was everything.
Even if that love is gone,
I wish I never see you again,
because I want to remember you
the way you were—
before you stopped looking at me
that way.
