"Poetry of Melancholy"

Loved by you must be a great thing to feel,
But no matter what I do about it, it's just not real.
You're all that I dreamt for the past three years,
But for the third and last year together, now is the time that I fear.

Fear of what will be my world tomorrow,
Will it be filled with sorrow?
And even while writing this masterpiece line by line,
I know your love will and can never be mine.

I loved you, dreamt you and have been with you,
I also laughed and cried because of you.
You are the star that I've been trying to reach,
But your unbreakable love for her is difficult to breach.

Absent-mindedly, heavy rain fell from my eyes;
'Cause I realized I've been feeding myself lies.
Lies that I've willed myself to believe,
That's why till now my heart still grieve.

I think now it's time to tell you though,
That even you weren't mine to begin with, I have to let you go;
I think it's time for me to love my own self,
No more 'Poetry of Melancholy' written by myself.
