And Life Goes On

Once

It was that one moment when your gaze locked on mine

The smile that rivalled the sun

The eyes that twinkled when they spotted me

I remember that moment when you used to laugh at my jokes

All the time I hear your voice near me

Whispering words of love, of hope, of your dreams

You knew me and the way I am

You knew of my fears

Yet there was that one moment that changed your eyes

You no longer sought for me

You no longer bore the weight of my burdens

I knew it all along

That you would leave because I'm fucked up

It knew it all along

That you would give up because you didn't sign up for any of my shit

I knew it all along that you would stop loving me because I kept on pushing you away

And now that I look at you

Now that you're looking at me again

And we're staring at each other eye to eye

I want yo ask you

"Did you ever really love me?"

I don't want you to lie

I will take the slap of the truth

Because, my love, I did

But it was too strong for me to take

Now that I see you with her

I now understand

We were just lost souls that sought each other

I loved you but it was not the time

You loved me but you were not strong enough

We were once what I pictured as my future

You are now what I picture as my hero
