When I needed light, you became my darkness.

Did I love you too much?

I remember when we were younger,

We were always afraid of getting older...

Moving to different cities, chasing different dreams.

We always prayed that we would be together,

I wanted to be the one to hold your hand forever.

You were my first friend

You kissed away my headache,

I grew in love with you

Then you were my first heartbreak.

Remember when we were six, we used to always cheer each other up when one was sad

It seemed like a lifetime that will never end

Funny how you are now the cause of my sadness.

I wonder where that person who loved me disappeared to,

Because that person wouldn't hurt me like you.

People do not always share mutual feelings,

I could've understood if you just told me...

Instead, you became mean,

Distant, started making new friends.

You didn't call anymore and you had stopped coming by,

When I visited you, you were always not around.

Time flew by,

When I called you never picked up.

Coincidentally your phone was always on silent,

I find myself missing your scent.

There is one thing I always wanted you to know...

I understood the risk of confessing my feelings to you.

I knew that losing you was a possibility,

But I did not have the ability

To stop my excessive heart beat every time we touched.

The blood rush that came with every embrace you gave me.

But, I didn't mean to love you

I didn't mean to fall in love with you.

But I guess fate played us both

Now I will proceed and take an oath

To never bother you again

But I guess it's already too late.

This is not how I thought we would end

But before you go, please don't leave my heart behind

My heart chose you, I didn't mean to love you.
