One Last Tear

One last tear,
I shed for you,
For the unfulfilled dreams,
All the  desires,
And the future, 

For it was always about you, 
Never me,
Yet you chose to leave.

You were mine,
You stole my heart,
Yet I was not a part of your life.

Though it was always about you,
Never me.

I decided to move on,
Yet I couldn’t forget the past,
All the memories, 
I shared with you, 
My best ones full of you,
Yet you left, 

Even though it was still about you, 
Never me.

You were my sunshine, 
My moonshine,
Now all the days are grey, 
Everyday.

I will miss you,
I won’t forget you,
But now I won’t look back, 
Because a new path lies ahead,
I will walk alone,
Now it will always be about me,
Never you.
