Forgetting the past for you

By: Jimmy Ta

In the past, I had my heart smashed.
Not only was it smashed,
but by a girl I dreamed of night after night.
Even worse, it was on Valentine's Day.
I loved her much,
but she treated my fragile heart like a rock.
She thought it was hard like bricks,
but even hard hearts are fragile like glass.
It had one crack because of her, and it shattered,
and she left me to pick up the pieces by myself.
It took me time, and I swore to myself
that I would never love again.
Many years have passed,
and you came to my life, making me forget the pain.
The pain was gone, since I saw you in my life,
which got me thinking of all my life's strife.
I am more than willing to give my heart to you,
but will you be like ones in my past,
willingly accepting it,
only to throw it into the trash?
If I pick myself up for you,
will you just let me fall?
Cause with every day, I'm falling for you.
I am willing to forget about the past
and start thinking of the future,
only if the future is with you.
