you walked away

By: Alyxzandria Laetitia Gonzales Pastrano

When I start to remember the past
And remember how it went by so fast
I sit and start to cry
With one word on my mind: why?

Why did your love end?
Why did you say I’m just a friend?
Why did you make me cry?
Why did you lie?

Were you just playing with my mind?
Or, maybe I was just so blind
Why did I even give in
A joke is what it’s been

“I love you,” those words circle my head
When I’m up or lying down in bed
I was so happy at the time
Even though I knew you were not mine

That week seemed like a day
Then you stopped and walked away
You tell me it’s because you love me
But you’re hurting me more, don’t you see?

I fought my love for you
And this is what you do
They say I’m too good for you
That you can’t love me as much as I love you

I ignored all the things they say
And told them I love you more each day
My parents don’t even like you
They say you and I should be through

I didn’t listen to them 'cause I thought you loved me, too
But I was wrong; hurting me is all you do
What am I supposed to feel,
When I found out you're feelings weren’t real?

Why did you make me feel as if it was you and me
When all of a sudden you wanted to be free
Do you know how that hurts inside
My feelings could just not subside

How do I heal the pain
When the memories of you always remain
How will I ever move on
When my feelings for you aren’t gone

My love is still inside my heart
Even though you broke it apart
Why do I still love you this very day
Even though... you walked away

For Martin Philip A. David
I loved you then... and I still love you now...
and I will love you for the rest of my life....
