Every Heart Piece Has A Story

Memory

Song: "Camouflage" - Selena Gomez

Memory

I guess this is thee end
The end where we begin to part
I had so much in mind to tell you
But when I saw you, I lost all my thoughts
It didn't feel the same anymore
I realize I couldn't go back in time

What done is done
What happened to us remains in the past
It was sweet but painful
I felt a closure coming and it was telling me to let go and move on
That my time was up

I did what I felt I had to do
I tried my best
I'm sorry I wasn't good enough
I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough
I deeply valued our time together on a level beyond words
Your existence means the most to me

I waited for you
The last time I saw you, I realized we are gone
I felt disconnected
Next to you, I was a ghost
There is no more us to continue
I was speechless
It was a silent goodbye

I once became your happiness
And now I've become a memory
Fading into the background
Just like that, I left like I never came
Blurring myself from your memories

It was my time to go
You see, I was never meant to last long
I come and go like seasons
Never knowing the reasons
Why this is my fate
Until I discover too late

Who knew I could cause storms
When all I was trying to do was calm the waters
Every step I take matters
That's why I could either be your rainy day to remember or your storm to destroy

I knew from the beginning
I wasn't gonna last long with you
But I felt I had to step in my role
To pursue my purpose
I'm sorry I failed
If I could go back, I would do it better

So much went wrong, I couldn't fix anything anymore
My hands were tied and I was trapped
That's when I knew I couldn't win
It wasn't about winning anymore
I did what I did for your safety
Yet we suffered through another storm

Our patience was running thin
The worst has already happened
We were left to pick up the pieces
Broken as we are, we couldn't fix it
Or fit ourselves in our story anymore
It was too much to handle
Nature took its course

I saw you and looked into your eyes
I felt you were closed off
It was something I wasn't expecting
I was so happy to see you
But I realized it was over
We were over and we both knew it without saying it

I understood the way you moved
The way you talked to me
The energy in your voice felt off
That's when I knew
You wanted me to go
I wanted to hold on

I had to accept this feeling
Accept that I needed to let go and set you free
My turn is over
Now it's your turn to learn
I hope you learn life well
Second chances don't happen often

I get the picture
Now that I'm out of the picture
It's a silent understanding
Let me remain as a memory
Because that's all I'll ever be

My heart will remember everything
And let you go
I wish you love and a full life
I'll go on touching lives
I hope that when I crossed yours, I did too
