Falling Rain and Winter Snow

I am letting you go

That's what I told you that night

With the feelings that grow

Left me crying while I watch you go off my sight


It was two years or so

I forgot counting the time

All the happiness I felt

Returned as pain like it was a crime


Was it a crime to love someone like you?

Was it a crime to be cherished as well?

Was it a crime to pray of someday being with you?

Was it a crime to love when I can't tell?


I can't tell if you feel the same

I can't tell myself to have the courage to tell you

I can't tell if should I take the blame

I can't tell what was too hard for you


Can I blame you for not feeling the same?

Can I blame myself for falling in love when I didn't intend to?

Can I blame you for confusing me like a lame?

Can I blame myself for giving up of something you were unsure to?


And so I decided to let you go

On a night I wish I could forget

In the middle of the winter snow

I began my life's biggest regret


I don't know how it all started

Was it when we were friends?

Or was it when we suddenly avoided

The questions of my heart that I could not send?


I found myself crying in my bed

In a day when I just feel so dizzy and sad

And maybe then did I realize how red

Is pain when I am missing you so bad


It startled me when you called

In the middle of the night

But I jumped off my bed and strolled

Never knew that I could hug you that tight


You told me you like me like a sister or so

I told you I like you more than friends can be

You told me you love me like someone you look up to

I told you I love you, unsure if its love that used to be


I asked you not once but a million times

Are we just friends, or aren't we?

All you did was confuse me all this time

How pathetic is my heart that can't set you free


And so that night I said goodbye

A farewell I could never deny

It caused great pain like its killing me inside

But I held on my tears as I looked at you in the eyes


You, being unsure and confuse

Leaves me hanging in this bridge alone

Not knowing if waiting for you is of no use

Until all these thoughts gave me chills to the bone


It is sad and ugly, that I know

If you ask me if I will ever regret this, I won't do

What do we reap of a sad love story that we sow

Just sadness and grief in time that can't undo


And so in between these pages

I am letting you go

So you can find the love for ages

And I can save my heart from being low


But why am I crying in this time of the night?

Why do I still hear your voice begging me to stay?

Why am I still in pain, in mourn, and in fright?

Why do I feel the dark cold nights despite the light of the day?


Why do I still worry if you're fine and dandy?

When I can't even find myself closing my eyes

Why do I still have that lonely memory?

It keeps me awake and crying even in the sunrise


That night when I said goodbye

I could never turn back time

But I still ache and I still have a deep sigh

For how love can turn to be a crime


I am feeling lonely and broken inside

But darling, I'm never looking back

Even if the memory is poking me beside

I will just cry the pain until it scars the crack


I wish you happiness and bloom

With beautiful flowers of spring

I wish you healing from the scars of the doom

With love songs that never die and continuously ring


Even if I am no longer part of that happiness you gain

I promise to keep walking away and letting go

Bearing the burns like a falling rain

Holding in the frozen end as heavy as a winter snow
