It Can't Be True

No, it can't be true.
These thoughts corrupt my mind.
I want to love again
but my heart is no longer mine.
I count my mistakes
and I want to take them back.
Anything to correct my ways
and change the shadowed past.
Secrets I can share
to someone who will know
just how much I long inside
just to let it go.
Someone who can help me
heal what's left inside
but the one to stop the tears
has moved on much faster than I
and there's nothing I can do
but sit back and respect his ways.
I don't know how else to help him.
His path is his to take.
I promised him forever
and forever is what he got
even if it's not with me
and I only get to watch.
