Shattered Memories

I will never break your heart,

The way she tore it from the start.

Your past, it still lingers around,

Slowly, it is dragging you down.

I am catching my breath as I look at your face,

Your cheeks turn red and my heart beat race.

Freezing that moment when your lips touch mine,

But why did you apologize after we cross that line?

I.

If I am broke but you are mine,

I'll be the most contented person of all time.

I'm not saying this to please you, dear,

'Date me on Valentines' is all I want to hear.

II.

We will build a friendship to face the world,

Not a Love that no one can hold.

I'll grab your hand and take a leap to start,

The escapades with you on the day of heart.

I watched you move in the middle of the crowd,

Your voice was echoing but never too loud.

The perfume that you wear leaves magic in the air,

And that was how it started but soon it has ended.

Since then, I've been watching you admiring her,

Your eyes glimmer from the comfort of her care.

Drawn to her sweetness, kindness and caress,

Indeed, you were in love and filled with happiness.

The sound of your name I can't even forget,

The meaningless stares when our eyes first met,

All those crazy little things were playing in my head,

But nothing was done and words were left unsaid.

We chose different ways and caught up with love,

Of course you'll never know the feelings that I have.

It was genuine and true because I'm happy for you,

This fondness inside, I wish I could forever hide.

You were brave and strong, ready to take it all,

You let yourself get lost and you completely fall.

She was guiding you far and way too deep in love,

Then let go of you, now you're spinning out of control.

My heart always breaks every time I see you bleed

No, I can't save you 'cause I'm not the one you need

Your warmth and compassion vanish, turn to cold,

Here I am reminiscing the memories that were too old.

People who think that love is a feeling will never understand what true love is. It is both a noun and a verb. You make it work. You decide. You choose. You persevere. If you don't, you are not loving at all or you won't probably know what love is and what it is not. Read 1 Corinthians 13.
