You Left, I Held On

We lasted so long, we loved for what felt like eternity. You left, and I was heartbroken. You said you chose me, but you chose her instead. I always had a feeling it would be her. I was right, and you left. I tried so hard to keep you, even for just a little longer. You said you would always love me, you said you would always care. That was a lie, because you don’t. You no longer love me, you no longer care, while I am stuck, forever caring, and forever loving you. You left, but I held on.
