When I met you at sixteen years old
I was naïve and carefree
And I trusted you with everything
You took them for granted
And left me under the cold rain
Drenched under the falling drops of water
I realized I made a mistake of letting you in
So I shut everything off completely
Never letting anyone in again, I hated them
I thought everyone was going to hurt me like you did
And years passed, I changed so much
I became happier than before
Trusting only few people with my heart
And they did not break it like you before
Your name was like a forgotten memory
That I couldn’t recall, even if I tried to
Until months later, someone asked me about you
For a moment, memories of us flashed through my mind
A tear fell down my cheek, and I realized that I still loved you
But I smiled through the pain, because I have learned to let go
And I’ve grown now, nothing is a big deal anymore
We were just children back then, and we didn’t know any better
I told them the truth, we weren’t together anymore
And it was okay.
It’s okay as long as I keep myself busy.
