How Long has it Been?

How long has it been since I've seen your face?
How long has it been since we last embraced?

I remember when you were all I was thinking of
I remember how it only a one-sided love

I remember being such a fool
Thinking I could never live unless I was with you

I remind myself again and again
There could never be love especially between friends

I told myself to let go and to move on
I had to keep my heart, mind and soul strong

When I saw you holding hands with another girl
You left me questioning and unsure

I started to hurt from all this sorrow
I felt as if there was no tomorrow

At times I would break down and cry for no reason
I would lose faith and not know what to believe in

I blamed it on love, something I could not explain
Until I experienced that love is pain

It was a thousand times a hundred stabs to the heart
Bleeding in pain with my soul shattered and ripped apart

When time slowly pass by and it all became a memory
I've realized it was for the better as long as he was happy

Looking back what was I really thinking of?
Was the pain worth it, for this one-sided love?
