Let me explain…
When the love you felt for
me set you free
then loving you back was the
way it should be.
But now when being together
causes you pain
if I still love you then I must
be insane.
We once felt the same about
being whole
in each other we had found the
mate to our soul.
Now my soul is missing a
very large part
and the pain it feels cuts deep
in my heart.
Why’s it so hard for you to see
how I feel
when the love we had was
strong and real?
YOU changed and decided that we
weren’t to be
that doesn’t change how much you
mean to me.
