And Then I Remember

Don't wish anyone else ill,
Even if the person deserved it,
And then I remember you,
As you once "made friends" with me.

I don't need anything from you,
Just as nothing was needed then,
When you left me it was stuffy,
But I managed it without difficulty.

I remember the first time I saw you,
And I remember our first night,
And then I remember how you left, rude,
And I'm driving my pity for you away.

I gave up so much for you,
But you didn't appreciate my victims.
Then I remember your laugh again,
I clench my teeth as hard as I can.

Loving you is like jumping off a cliff.
You don't know if you'll swim out or sink.
I feel like a cross-country skier,
But my feet suddenly sink into the concrete.

Now I'm creating something new,
And it won't change what I am.
I wish you a lot of ,
No one will blame me for this.
