Poetry #26: Did I Hold On Too Strong?

Loving someone entails a lot of sacrifices

You do everything just to make them happy

Sometimes you’ll give up the things that make you happy

To the point that we lose ourselves

I have learned a lot for loving someone so much

I learned to save a little for myself

I learned that no matter how you win the person back,

If they don’t want to be won back, it’s time to give up

I am not counting the good things I did

But I just realized it’s not right to give everything

It’s better to save something

Something for ourselves

Maybe I hold on too strong

I thought that person will never leave me

I thought wrong

In a glimpse, everything just ended

I admit I have shortcomings

But if you truly love the person,

You will never be in doubt with your feelings

Or maybe you never did love me

I was amazed on how you can manage to hurt me like this

The pain is killing me inside, I thought you notice

But you are so numb to feel my agony

You just gave up that easy

It’s time for me to give up

Because you already let me go

Didn’t give me the chance to prove you

How much I love and care for you

I wish you all the happiness

I wish she can give you more happiness

I pray that you will be happy with you decision

Even it means I am not

For now, I want to move on

Start over again and be back to the single me

Happy and contented

Never asking for more, I pray I can do it
