I sit here on my bed with feelings full of dread,
going through self-torture with numerous thoughts running in my head.
I feel like a storm where the rain is my tears.
How can I still experience this feeling after so many years?

Our relationship was something that took years to create.
I would do anything for you, even at my life’s sake.
Being with you during the day made me feel as if our future was bright,
I felt comfort around you even during the darkest of nights.

The next chapter in our lives suddenly became a contrast to our last.
I soon realized that we could not return to the past.
Rather than give you a chance and make you stay,
my immaturity quickly led you to walk away.

I sit here on my bed with feelings full of dread,
going through self-torture with numerous thoughts running in my head.
I cannot help, but accept the fact that you have moved on.
I now know what it means when people say

“You Never Know What You've Got Till It's Gone.”
