The Only One

Emotionally depraved,
For once it felt like love,
But now all that has changed,
you were the only one.

Consumed by disarray,
For though I look at them,
I only see your face,
And that's where the pain stems.

I don't want you in mind,
Even though your thoughts, 
Are the best I can find;
My happiness still rots.

I want you in my heart,
I want to be in yours.
I want to just go back,
To how it was before.

I was the only one,
That you had feelings for.
At least that's what you said,
It was me, you adored.

Do you think about me, 
Do I tug your emotions? 
Do I speed your heartbeat,
And put time in slow motion?

Do I ever repay,
All the joyous moments,
That you brought to me,
Or do I bring you torment?

I just want to love you,
Even if that means
I have to leave forever,
To save the memories.
