10 Years

Every time I try to move on I

Remember all the times you

Allowed me to cry and wiped my tears

You wrote me love notes so you

Made me feel as beautiful as you see me

 

But it’s sad how despite the years

Love wasn’t enough

I cried countless tears

But you were too stubborn, too tough

 

You sold out a life of love

For something that may never happen

I just hope when you’re 40, you’re old enough

You’ll regret giving up on the woman

Who would’ve died for you

 

I never knew true love

Thought it was a myth, a legend, a lie

Then I saw him

And I knew instantly that for him, I would die

But he’s in love with the imaginary

So in 10 years, he’ll remember me

 

Remember how much I loved him,

But it will be too late, I’ll be living

Without him

But fulfilling

My dream of being.
