Unrequited Love Unfolded

I still remember, the laughter we shared

But now it feels like we’re strangers, unaware

Once a love so bright, now it feels so dim

Past is the past, our love didn't last

I thought forever, now we’re just a shadow cast

I know I broke your heart, made you feel alone

But I saw the signs, you were never home

All I wanted was always you, remember those nights?

But you weren’t really there, always chasing the lights

Busy with excuses, never made the time

But I kept holding on, thought that you were still mine

Selfish to try, keep a love that's undone

How could we lose? We had so much fun

Were we just players, in a game of pretend?

I thought you were my forever, now it’s the end

It hurts to pull away, but what’s left to give?

I needed your heart, but we didn’t know how to live

You gave up on us, while I was still holding tight

Now it's clear, we weren’t meant to fight

Remember the family, the plans and the dreams?

But in shadows you faded, or so it seems

Every laugh turned to silence, every hope felt so far

Saw you drifting away, like a shooting star

I started to build, a path all my own

Learning to let go, of the love that was shown

My heart can't take more, of being thrown away

You knew deep inside, you gave up one day

Selfish to try, keep a love that's undone

How could we lose? We had so much fun

Were we just players, in a game of pretend?

I thought you were my forever, now it’s the end

The lessons remain, as we walk our own way

No hard feelings, just memories of yesterday

In a world that keeps turning, we will both find the light

With hearts that are healing, it’ll be all right.
