I Don'T Understand

I still love you.

I know I do.

I have to let you go.


You said you rather have what we have 
then nothing at all.


My heart cries for you.

My Love for you has not died.

My best friend is gone.


You didn't want to hurt me, I know;
but I'm still in pain.


I don't understand.

I know we were something.

I just don't know why I'm still waiting for you.


You have her, and I'm happy for you, really I am.
I just don't understand.

hmm... a lot of what you write is like a lament on lost love... somethings will never heal.... I suppose
