The One that Got away


"However you take this, I Love You"

2010, full of joy and wonders

I realized that now that you left

I shouldn't have let you go

Shit happened between us

The world that revolves us 

Even knows our history

Do you still think about 

The three words I said?

3 Years shouldnt fade away

But would you really listen?

The brown eyes that you look into now

Aren't mine but if not hers

Staying neutral towards you isnt easy

Seeing you move on isn't easy

I fucked up?

Yes, I did 

Did I want to fix things?

But, of course

But, I lost you 

You're the one that got away
