We Shall Never Meet Again
I remember the day you told me you loved me.
You said my sassiness attracted you,
And that you couldn’t live without me.
I looked right through your past and chose to believe your lies,
Because being with you gave me a sense of high—
A high I’ve never felt before,
Something that I just wanted more and more.
I had a fear that, if I questioned you, I would lose you.
I thought that without you I would be broken,
Like Sleeping Beauty, never to be awoken.
The day I chose to cut ties with you
Is still imprinted in my brain.
My heart was broken in so many ways.
Yes, I was upset; yes, I cried, but in the end, I was able to rise.
I rose past your terror and, for the first time, saw myself in the mirror.
I saw a young girl, who got caught up in a twisted world,
But was back to standing on her own two feet.
If I learned anything at all, my promise is this:
Our last meeting would be our final kiss.
