There in that picture
you said I looked happy then
but life for me
was so much simpler then
in that moment
I do remember
believing in your love
and in our future
you were the one
who first spoke of love
I was the reluctant one
remembering my past
those who also spoke of love
and left me
in time I believed
now all I hear
that you did not love me
still you wonder
why I am no longer happy
as I wonder
when you will find the one
you will truly love
if you no longer love me
what is my purpose here
sometimes
i want to break from you
and the ties that bind me to you
a voice in my mind saying
that I am playing the fool
that love lost is not regained
and if I do not go
more pain will surely come
yet I remain
