It hurts to remember you

Among routine and casualty
___________________Who would have thought
______________________________________It hurts

To see you in a memory
___________________Like in a mirror,
______________________________________Because

The memories
___________________I tried to save
______________________________________So hard,

The silent tears
___________________Never to be shed,
______________________________________Are in my heart.

And the image of your face
___________________Is not as vivid
______________________________________As it used to be:

In the incessant race of days
___________________It became livid
______________________________________And now is hard to see.

The mirror in my heart
___________________That was supposed to reflect you
______________________________________Was violently broken,

So was I.
___________________But now as I've gone through
______________________________________It and again my eyes I open,

I thought
___________________Your face will be
______________________________________Another memory to keep.

But why does it hurt
___________________To remember you and me
______________________________________What caused the pain I feel?

The mirror in my heart
___________________That I created
______________________________________To reflect without ceases

The face of you I loved
___________________Was broken
______________________________________Into pieces.

These sharp tiny fragments,
___________________They hurt way
______________________________________Far too much.

This bitterness
___________________Can't go away,
______________________________________It's such

A deep wound,
___________________And never will I
______________________________________Let memories

Be always around
___________________It's time
______________________________________I realize

........I just have to let it all go away
