The worst part
Was the final words,
The final I love you,
The final goodbye.
It all hurt so much.

The worst part
Of us ending
Was the begging.
He would come to me,
Saying that he missed me,
Asking if we could start over.
But we couldn't.

The worst part
Was having to say no.
How do you tell someone
Who is your whole world
And your everything
That you can't see each other anymore?

The worst part
Was feeling his gaze on me.
I knew he was looking right at me,
As if attempting to get me to look back
But I wouldn't...
I don't know when he stopped staring.

The worst part, though,
Was when I would meet his gaze.
It was by mere accident,
Maybe coincidence,
That I would look up
And see his beautiful eyes.
His sea foam eyes...
How I miss them.

The worst part was
Finding that picture,
The one I had forgotten about.
We were on a Ferris wheel,
And in our eyes,
You could see the joy,
You could see the love,
The real us...
I don't know if that part of us
Even exists anymore.

The worst part
Was seeing him with another girl
And knowing that he wasn't happy.
I could see it in his eyes -
He thinks he's good at hiding his feelings,
But he's really a horrible liar -
You could see the unhappiness,
How he was still searching for something more,
Something he needed...
Naively,
I realized that something was me.

The worst part
Was missing him.
Oh, how I wish
I could go back in time
And change so many things.
The fact that I can't
Kills me.
I wish I could fix us.
Sadly, it's too late.
Only he can now.

But truly,
The worst part of us ending
Was the loneliness.
The only person who could comfort me,
Who would always comfort me,
Just broke my heart...
How do you get over that?
