For more than a year I came to know who you are,

For more than a year I came to know who you are,

I was always fascinated by everything that was you,

And everything you had, good or bad

On the days I haven't seen you, I missed you

Thinking of your smiling face had made me a happy

When I cried on your shoulder, I realized you were the first

Yet I fell on you like it was always something I do

We both had shared scars, wounds and sadness

And wept in each other's arms

And for the first time in my life, I felt I knew someone truly special

Someone who understood me, liked all of me

And everything I had, good or bad

But as time passed, I came to realize that my feelings weren't even complete

I knew I felt something else, something different for you

For some reason, I treasured your embraces and simple touches

And when those times happened, I felt a strange sensation

It took me weeks of wondering, days of thinking

I had thought on several occasions that it simply cannot be

What I had in my mind, and what everything around me were saying

They all matched and reluctantly I accepted it as what it really was: love.

But the time it took to tell you took even longer

While I had been caught up in my thoughts I had strained yours

And forced your unwilling self to give up what I had always hoped you felt

The whole time it was in front of me

And my ignorance blinded me

My heart had split in two and my joy dissipated

Yet I was surprised my soul told me I still loved you

So I took the pain, hid it and smiled a smile for you

So you won't experience what I was going through

Not only that, but I did foolish things to get you to look my way again

Guilty yet desperate, I cried for days and for the first time in my life

Felt what heartbreak and its pain alone

Yet you felt it too because of me, so I deserve even more

But despite everything, I still loved you

If I had to give my life to save yours I would

I would've done anything to make you happy

For I learned that I was the slave of your heart

And I craved to give it everything it needed

I wanted to melt in your arms and to feel your lips against mine again

Selfish I am, but I knew it was true

Yet my true foolishness struck the final blow,

And cut all the strings that could've held us together

I am so sorry

But now I've figured

It could've been better if we had never met,

I wouldn't have cost and caused you any trouble

I wouldn't have given you any pain

I wouldn't have to crave for you in this one-sided love

That until now stays

I wouldn't have taken advantage of your kindness

And ignored your love when you needed it

I am so so sorry

And so, I have found a solution that is nearly as good as this regret

I will cut off the last string

I will say the last words

I will see the last of your face in reality

I will save all the memories we had to this very last

I will leave you in the only way I can

Very soon, you will never know when

And I will never tell you, because you will never see me

The truth reality will bring you is harsh but you will learn to accept it

How could I do all this yet I know the pain it takes?

It is because of one thing and one thing only

I love you

I love you so much that I am willing to do anything and sacrifice everything

to make you the happiest person in the world

I will give you all my joy

Endure anything for you

It is said that love is the strongest thing in the world

Because in love you will find joy in making

The person that you love happy

Whether you are happy or not

I learnt this, no, realized this

So…

Farewell.

But please don't ever forget that I…

…will always love you no matter what.
