For what reason?


They say time heals all and you will forget the ones that have hurt you

No matter what they say you continue to remain untrue

You feel an emptiness in your heart because you loved them completely

For what reason? Because afterall they are the ones who tore your heart to pieces

You gave them your all because you thought they were different

You trusted them and so you told them your secrets

They keep appearing in your thoughts although they shouldn't be

Because they were the only ones you bothered to give a chance

Fantasizing of a last embrace

But that won't happen because they left you essentially everything to find anything

In the end you were left with nothing and the only thing you could do is let go

Because you care about them so much and that is the only thing you could do.
