All That Is Left
I HAD KNOWN YOU FOR A LONG TIME, AND I THOUGHT I WOULD KNOW YOU FOR
THE REST OF MY LIFE. BUT THINGS CHANGED. AND NOW YOU'RE GONE. IT HURTS
TO KEEP SEEING YOU WHEN YOU ARE IGNORING ME. SO I SAID MY GOODBYES. BUT
YOU TOLD ME YOU WILL BE SAD WHEN I'M GONE. BUT HOW COME THE PLACE I USE
TO OCCUPY BELONGS TO SOMEBODY ELSE NOW? THE SMILE THAT USED TO BE
EXCLUSIVELY FOR ME IS DIRECTED TO SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN ME, THOSE
WORDS THAT YOU ECHOED OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT MEANT ONLY FOR ME IS NOW
BEING SAID TO SOMEONE NOT ME.
ALL I KNOW IS YOU, ALL I DREAM OF IS YOU. DO I LOVE YOU? DO YOU LOVE ME? EVERYDAY, EVERY NIGHT, YOU FILL MY SENSES LIKE AIR, LIKE BLOOD. I HAD CRIED NIGHT AFTER NIGHT IN SEARCH OF MY MEANING, MY TRUE SELF. MY HEART IS HEAVY WITH DESPERATION, CAN YOU UNDERSTAND? I KNOW NOTHING OF MYSELF OTHER THAN THE ME WHEN I AM WITH YOU.
HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG? HAVE I SAID SOMETHING WRONG TO MAKE YOU LOSE FAITH IN ME? I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. YOU SAID I AM YOUR LIFE. AND NOTHING WOULD BE THE SAME WITHOUT ME. BUT I FOUND YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE IN YOUR LIFE OTHER THAN ME. SOMEONE WHO TOOK AWAY YOUR SMILE, SOMEONE WHO TOOK AWAY ALL THE STUFF THAT USED TO BE MINE...YOUR SMILE, YOUR LAUGH, YOUR CARESS, YOUR HUGS, YOUR KISSES, YOUR VOICE...AND ALSO TOOK ALL THE YOU I HAVE KNOWN, SNATCHED AWAY, STOLEN LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. DID YOU ALLOW IT? DID YOU LET THEM TAKE YOU WITHOUT THINKING OF ME? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME?
I BELIEVE YOU DID. YOU FORGOT. ALL ABOUT ME. ALL ABOUT YOU AND ME. I AM NOT EVEN A MEMORY, AND JUST A GLIMMER LEFT OF MY EXISTENCE IN YOUR LIFE. HOW SAD THAT IT COULD BE THAT WAY. THAT YOU LET SOMEONE TAKE MY PLACE. THAT YOU LET SOMEONE STEAL YOU AWAY FROM ME.
JUST LET ME GO. PLEASE. I BEG OF YOU. JUST LET ME GO, AND LET ME LEAVE. RELEASE ME FROM YOUR EMBRACE, RELEASE ME FROM YOUR TOUCH, RELEASE MY HEART THAT WHICH YOU HOLD. SET ME FREE, I BEG THEE. I'M NO LONGER HAPPY FROM THIS COLD PLACE YOU LEFT ME IN. I AM NO LONGER THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE THAT YOU ONCE HOLD. I AM JUST NOTHING. NO ONE. NO ONE THAT YOU HOLD DEAR. SO WHAT GOOD WOULD IT BE IF I STAYED? EVEN IF YOU BEG, WHAT PURPOSE WOULD I SERVE IN YOUR LIFE, OTHER THAN THE SOMEONE THAT YOU USED TO LOVE? WHAT KIND OF EXISTENCE WOULD IT BE FOR ME, IF I AM NOTHING THAN SOMEONE THAT WAS THERE AND NOW GONE. I DON'T WANT THIS ANYMORE. AND SADLY, EVEN IF MY HEART IS STILL FILLED WITH YOU, I DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE. THE YOU AND THE ME THAT WAS THEN IS NOW GONE, GONE ALONG WITH THE SHIFTING SAND ON A BEACH, ALONG WITH YESTERDAY'S SUNSET, GONE ALONG WITH THE FADED SCRIBBLES ON A WORN CRUMPLED PAPER. THAT IS ALL THAT IS LEFT. AND I KNOW MY MEANING IS THE SAME AS IT LEFT. JUST A GLIMMER, AN ECHO OF A PAST LONG FORGOTTEN. SO CLOSE THE BOOK, MY LOVE. THE STORY OF YOU AND I HAD ENDED. PUT IT BACK IN ITS OLD PLACE. AND IF SOMEHOW, YOU FOUND THAT OLD MEMORY THAT WE USED TO SHARE. PICK ME UP AGAIN, AND LET'S START A NEW CHAPTER TOGETHER.
