We walked beneath a starless sky.
Hand-in-hand in the deafening silence,
Looking up with eyes not dry,
thinking of ways to make a difference.
Darkness filled that lonely night.
The pavement was empty without a stray.
Then I saw a single star--our only light,
Giving me hope as you led the way.
Still, as we progressed, no word was spoken;
Feeling the guilt of the pain inflicted,
trying to mend the bridge that was broken.
Maybe it's better if I was convicted.
As the silence got awkward you held me nearer.
You drew closer to me and started to speak.
You whispered words that couldn't be clearer.
They were enough to make me feel weak.
'Forget about me,' that's what you said.
You gave me reasons that were hard to debate.
But I couldn't just bypass the road that you led.
It is engraved in my heart that you are my fate.
I told you that consequences are inevitable,
and the only thing we needed was faith.
The problem we had wasn't irreparable.
We just couldn't leave everything in a mindless state.
You told me in a pleading voice
That that was your final request.
You wouldn't even give me a choice,
And to me, this was the hardest test.
I could never say "yes" to what you have asked,
And so I started to run without looking back.
My tears, the pain... everything masked,
Realizing then that it was patience I lack.
Though the kiss you gave me was sweet,
It wasn't enough to convince me.
And how can I forget if, once again, we meet?
You're already a part of my life's epitome.
I deny your request. I can't let you go,
For I love you more than you will ever know.
"How can I ever forget if almost every single thing that I see, hear, and feel brings back the memories that you want to erase from the past so badly?"
