And now we\\\'re just strangers with memories

rnrnI knew I was wrong so I ran backrnMy return was a surprise rnUnsure of what to say, so you listenedrnThe sun set and the moon rose rnI spilled my heart and oh the tears I shedrnWe held each other like we had before.rnThe kisses we shared. rnrnI made my way home in silence I drove,rnSuddenly the screen on my phone lit uprnI read your words and only shattered my heart even more. The love inside was there but the pain that I caused had surpassed. rn"Please don't come see me anymore " you pleaded. rnrnAgain I knocked at your door, to be away was something I couldn't do. The look in your eyes only showed pain but deep in your sight I could see how glad you were that I was there. rnQuickly you noticed the blood on my shirt, I tried to fake it as a food stain but you weren't having it. rnI peeled my shirt to the side, your mouth dropped to the ground. How crazy was it to see that it was you whom I chosen to own my heart? The blood seeped through my skin and mixed with the ink "you're crazy" you said but still how your eyes gleamed. rnAnd still every time I left you would say "i can't see you anymore." Words so destructive i felt my heart and soul slowly shatter still I was motivated to have you I would do anything it didn't matter! rnrnI awoke early the next morning determined to change your mind I drove with breakfast at hand and a book that would mend this love story. I respected your wishes and left my gift at your door, I departed and waited. rnYou texted, your words gave me hope you expressed that you loved me and that you wanted me unsure of how that would happen when fear is what divided you and me. rnrnWith time my efforts were working! Little by little our love was growing! rnFear was slowly breaking and when it shook you I closed my eyes and prayed that love would conquer all!! And it did. rnrnNow I sit here alone, the tears the hurt they burn! You haven't called I've no memory of your voice at all. Where are you I ask? I wake up each day and put on this mask to hide my true face. I'm forced to smile! I'm forced to laugh but with each breath my chest hurts as I feel you squeeze tight on my heart!! rnrnI slept in the cold to be close to you while you slept so warm inside but, it didn't matter as long as I could be close to you!! I did what I could to be there for you!! I vanquished your fears!! Remember that night when I held you tight as we danced in your l living room and gently I whispered "they say that love is forever your forever is all that I need please stay as long as you need! Can't promise that things won't be broken but I swear that I will never leave please stay forever with me!!" rnrnIt was you! I never wanted a change all I wanted was you!! Your love and to know that our love would always be true!! I would have walked till the ends of this earth to be next to you!! But how could it be that you couldn't do that for me??!! Three years have gone by and I did my best to provide!! I gave what I could !! I emptied my heart and my soul because life without you was so hard to uphold!!! I didn't want you to quit or give up on your goals!! I just wanted to know that it was me you always wanted to hold!! I felt so scared and alone!! Why couldn't you hold me tight and sing in my ear!!?? Why couldn't you chase me down when I walked away!!?? Even when I was wrong I ran to your place!! I didn't want much just your love!! I would have done anything to know I was your true love!! rnrnMy efforts were not to split us apart! I felt like I needed some guidance so I went in search of god. Never was I trying to push you away I wanted to find a way to just be a better man!! You accused me of not caring because I forgot to praise you one day!! I never meant to hurt you I simply forgot since sadly I am just a man. I was wrong so many times!! But never did I ever want to leave your side!!! rnI felt unloved and forgotten!! It was as if my efforts had never happened!! Things ended so quickly we both felt like it was being forced I tried on that last time to reconcile our love that was slowly being lost!! Still not once did you say that you would do anything to be by my side!! I left feeling mad!! Was hoping you would rush after me and hold me tight!! Why haven't you called!!?? Where is the love you so preciously preached!!?? I know I was wrong and I admit it!! I cry and it hurts!! And I think is there some way that it's because you're doing the same??!! rnrnI sit here alone with my thoughts and nothing more. Reality sinks in and now we're just strangers with memories.
