Almost Over You
I was almost over you
till I saw you with her,
hand in hand just like we used to be.
So much in love, careless, and carefree.
How I wish those days were still here,
but we decided to end our lives together
and I am so alone.
This world seems so cold without you by my side.
I am scared of living without you.
She is your one and only now,
but I have wished so many times
it was me you were whispering those sweet words to.
I thought I had wiped away all those tears I cried for you,
but the tears have only just begun to fall.
I thought we were meant to be together
from all the love I saw between us.
Now you are lost from me forever
like a leaf blowing in the wind,
and my life is over from this point on.
Tell me how can I change your mind about us?
We should be together.
You loved me so deeply before.
How could it be that you love her more.
I will love you forever
deeper than she ever will,
so how can it be that
I thought I was almost over you.
I guess I was trying to fool myself and everyone around me.
I still love you more than ever,
wish you still loved me, too.
I wish I was almost over you.
