Theme: Inability to unlove someone


I saw you yesterday while I was asleep

You still have the same smile you wore years ago

The way you looked at me made my heart leap

But I was too speechless, I couldn't say hello.


I saw you last week at a mall nearby

With millions of faces, you stood out in my eyes

You've grown so much since I last saw you

And here I am hoping that you noticed me too.


I've been too distracted after all this time

Thinking that I've already moved on with my life

Yet with a quick glance at you, I fell on my knees

Being close to you made it hard to breathe.


I saw you last month while I was scrolling through my phone.

I couldn't help but smile and feel my emotions grow.

Never would've thought that I would be this pathetic.

Over a man who must have already forgotten that, in his life, I once existed.


How can I ever find the courage to unlove you.

How can I ever find the will to let you go.

How can I ever convince myself that what we had wasn't true.

How can I ever get up now that I'm already too deep within this hole.
