Our Broken Pair


Dear My Other Half,

 

I stayed up all night, knowing that we had a fight

Laying there, I constantly told myself everything’s going to be alright

 

Leaving me stranded like someone lost on an unknown island was more than enough

But what you turned out to do with me made the situation even more tough

 

I try to hide the pain when I’m around you,

 

 It comes flooding back when I see you laughing through

 

Why am I here faking a smile and dying deep down inside?

While I see you so happy with your heart open wide

 

You finally taught me what it feels like to be treated like an old toy

To be betrayed by the person who did nothing but destroy

 

How many times have you told me the same reason which I know is a lie?

It all came true when you walked past me with your last goodbye

 

One day you will realize that you were wrong

 Everywhere that you go, you’ll be reminded that you shouldn’t have quickly moved on

Then you’ll need me back, but remember that I’ll be gone

 

I guess it was true that we were never meant to be for our hearts didn’t belong together

Our friendship was broken because you turned out to be too clever

 

You might deny it now, but one day you will realize that I was right

But time will be gone and you will be left alone on a starry night

 

Even though we don't talk, I still hear your voice everywhere

 Now there’s no point in telling you because I know you don’t care

 

Just remember one thing,

You’re the reason behind our broken pair 

 

Sincerely,

Your Forgotten Half
