I don't want to want you
But these feelings are too strong.
I don't want to lose you,
But I can no longer hold on.
I'm scared to let go now,
Though it's what I need to do.
I'm trying to imagine my life
Without any sign of you.
This has gone on too long.
I blame no one but myself.
I wore a pretty smile,
Silently screamed for help.
Let my heart break over and over
Ignored the pain I felt inside,
To pretend that, just maybe,
You would want to be mine.
I'm foolish, stupid and rash.
Not to mention, quite naive.
To think you were someone,
In whom, I could believe.
So today, I declare, is the day
I stop pining over unrequited love.
I'll be down for a while,
But I will rise above.
