The Last Time I Loved You

I still remember that November night,

The way you smiled underneath those city lights,

We were making plans we couldn’t keep,

Building castles out of memories,

Your picture’s sitting in an empty frame,

I moved it twice but it looks the same,

Funny how a heart can let someone go,

But still hold on to the ghost,

I don’t hate you,

I don’t blame you,

Sometimes love just loses its way,

I forgive you,

I still miss you,

But I know I can’t stay…

The last time I loved you,

I gave you everything I had,

Every piece of my future,

Every dream inside my hands,

I don’t regret the story,

Even though it broke in two,

Because the last time I loved someone…

It was you.

I heard you found a brand new beginning,

Part of me hurts, but part of me’s healing,

I hope she gets the best of who you are,

Not the version who left me with scars,

I won’t pretend I never cried,

There were nights I barely survived,

But losing you taught me something true,

I was someone before I had you,

I don’t hate you,

I don’t blame you,

Some flowers aren’t meant to bloom,

I forgive you,

I still miss you,

But I’m finally leaving that room,

The last time I loved you,

I gave you everything I had,

Every piece of my future,

Every dream inside my hands,

I don’t regret the story,

Even though it broke in two,

Because the last time I loved someone…

It was you.

Maybe someday years from now,

I’ll hear your name and not break down,

Maybe someday I’ll understand,

Why forever slipped right through our hands,

But if you ask if it was real…

I hope you know it always was.

The last time I loved you,

I gave you my whole heart,

Even when we ended,

I don’t regret the start,

Some people leave your life,

But leave a better you,

And the first time I found myself…

Was the last time I loved you.

I hope you’re happy…

I think I’m getting there too.
