Loving You As Promised

Today I had to question myself,
Why it is im still in love with you.
You have made it quite clear,
You and I are over and through.

Holding on the way i am hurts me,
And you act as if you don't care.
I look at you withe tears in my eyes,
You look at me with an empty stare.

Does it even matter to you at all?
That i will forever be holding on.
Or that the love we once held 
And our life we shared are gone.

You say you will never come home
And I need to grow used to being alone.
Understand each day since you left 
This sadness inside me has grown.

Please do this one favor that I ask,
While you're living life remember me.
And be assured I'm still right here
Loving you as i promised I'd be.

True love dies hard…once letting go it’s hard to turn back. Hearts become jaded, sadly enough. It takes two.
