You took my hand ever so gently, placed it on your chest
The soft beating of your heart sings such a lovely melody
With longing eyes you stare at me, anticipation and tension fill the air
I brace myself for your words, telling myself don't hope too much
Hands clammy, throat a little dry, from your mouth came out words
Words, I thought I'd never hear, first word you uttered was "I'm sorry"
I felt my world crumble, I brace myself for the worst
I prepared my heart to break, because I know it will
Hands still on your chest, you continued what you were saying
Out of quivering lips another "I'm sorry"
My head and heart screamed please stop.
I'm sorry, I tried to stop, I tried so hard not to fall
Yet you made it all too difficult. In you, I found my heart's other half
I tried so hard to restrain my heart, yet every time we are together
All the chains I encased my heart with started to break and loosen
You are my perfect half I've searched for you all my life
Now that I found you, how I pray I can stay with you
I love you like life itself, you are my breath of air
You are my everything and yet I cannot entrust my heart
For I am bound to a promise I cannot break no matter what
A promise I foolishly made, I'm sorry, please forgive me
With those words of yours, I knew right there and then
This is the end and even if I tried an unbreakable promise is undeniable
With the last gesture of love, you kissed my lips with intensity
The passion the frustration poured in it lastly, you mouthed "I love you"
Like all encounters ours must end,
You walked away with a heavy heart
I tried to put up a smile before you turned
Yet I can't because heard my heart broke into pieces
How cruel, we were fated to meet
Fated to become each other's half
Yet fate played its cruel play
Fated to meet but not fated to be together.
