I can't say I never loved him,
For that would be a lie.
I did with all my heart and soul,
But as things changed,
I knew I had to say goodbye and let go of that role.
All the tears I shed and,
All the pain and love I felt.
Then one day, I looked at 'us',
I knew it was not as true as I once held.
I can't say I never loved him,
For I did, in every single way.
Until I realized, I was just trying
To be perfect for him every day.
I can't say I never loved him,
For I did, until I had to rethink 'us'.
But something shifted within me
And I knew it was time to discuss.
I can't say I never loved him,
For he held a piece of my heart.
But as time passed, I realized,
We were slowly drifting apart.
I can't say I never loved him,
For I gave him all I had.
But with each passing day,
I began to feel more miserable and sad.
I can't say I never loved him,
For that would be far from true.
But I also can't say I still do,
For I've learned to move on and love myself too.
So I bid goodbye to the love that was once strong,
For I know in the end, it was just not where I belong
I loved him, yes, I did,
But sometimes love is not meant to be forever etched in grid.
