I close my eyes and listen to your voice calling my name. Why did you leave me for her.
I remember how you took me out all the time to our favourite little place by the river. I remember how you made me feel loved.
I open my eyes and picture you standing right in front of me smiling the pretty smile of yours.
I grab my phone and try to dial your number but I hesitate every time.
Your last words said to me spin in my mind every day.
I thought you were mine forever. Turns out you didn't actually love me.
You used me and now I can't have you back. Because you are gone and never coming back.
