My Tragedy
Remember the time you told me—
that our love would last a lifetime,
that forever our hearts would beat as one.
Those promises still linger in my mind.
Do you still recall the moment you said
the world would stop turning
if someone like me lost her breath?
Those words still echo in my ears.
Have you already forgotten—
the promise of you and me until the end?
Why am I the only one still dreaming,
why was I left waiting in vain?
When you were gone, my life fell into pieces.
The pictures of our past replay inside my head.
I keep asking myself why
this perfect love had to reach its end.
As my tears are wiped away by the wind,
I sit patiently on an old bench,
hoping you can hear my heart’s mourning—
take with you the tragedy I’m holding on to.
