I never thought
That I would have to wait behind again.
It hurt to know that I would experience that pain of losing someone once more.
I had thought
That maybe this time, you wouldn't leave either.
You're still here, but not much.
Barely at all.
I think back to the times we had spent
Laughing, smiling, being in love.
It almost feels worse
To go from lovers to strangers
Rather than from lovers to exes.
You're still someone I know in my daily life,
I feel that I can't escape the grasp
My heart seems to have on you.
I wonder if you've already let go.
Even if you did, I don't regret loving you.
Not one bit.
I don't regret a single moment I had spent
Thinking you'd be the one.
And while I wish we hadn't gone from lovers to strangers,
I wish you hadn't been another lesson I needed,
But I'm glad you were someone who wanted me.
Even if only for a short while.
