Saudade

I was happy and fine.
when you are still mine
I wanted to make us work.
but all you did was lurk.


You let go of my hand.
I don’t seem to understand
You just waved me goodbye.
I got stabbed and fell from a height.


I cursed you to death.
and even prayed to lose your breath.
I had you at your worst.
Why can’t you have me at my best?


Hours, days, and years had passed.
Did you just forget me so fast?
In my heart, you planted a big scar.
And why have you gone so far?


Wounded heart, oh, please
be healed and feel at ease.
The pain remains, crumpling my heart.
Why do we have to fall apart?


I have something to say.
Would you hear it and stay?
I cried and realized
I made mistakes and want to apologize.


Thank you. "My used to be love."
You were sent from the heavens above.
Now that you’re in someone else’s arms
I am happy for you and won’t do you any harm.


Now I have to let go of the memories.
and sigh in relief with no worries.
Hence, I cannot unlove you.
"I love you" will always be true.


Worry not for this feeling I have; I won’t destroy you.
I promise, eventually I’ll make it through.
