Memoirs of the Night

Forgive Me, Love, for I Had to Choose

The depth of my love for you is immeasurable
Yet I had no choice but to let you go,
You're full of mysteries waiting to be unraveled
Yet I didn't dare to be the person to do so

You gave me false hopes
So I had to make a few steps back
Yet my heart continuously yearns for you
So I had to endure recurring heartaches

Then as seasons go by,
I have come to realize that I deserved better—
than the half-hearted love you recklessly gave
We both need love, not for each other but for ourselves

Love what is inside before you love what you see
For love is free but hearts should be guaranteed
Then the time came when paths diverge
Between love and dream—I had to choose

But dream is what I would always choose
Forgive me, love, for letting you down
I can't afford distraction at present times
But I hoped you would come to understand;

Soon you'll forget me when I'm gone
Just as I've forgotten the feeling of being in love
And I sincerely hope that you did love me
Until in life, there is none
