Would You Care?

I miss you still, to this day.
It does not matter much, how much you hurt me.
This love has a life of it’s own and just won’t die.
I try to remember the tears, and the hateful way you treated me.
But my own heart betrays me and I see your soft brown eyes,
And the sweet moments between us,
And my soul’s wounds are torn open all over again.
It’s been a couple of years now.
So, I wonder, will it ever stop hurting?
I told you, I loved you, body, mind and soul.
I told you I would love you for forever.
It was something over which I have no control.
Did you think I was lying?
I put my faith in you.
I gave you all I had to give.
And it’s not that I’ve run out and have nothing left to give.
It’s just that no one else can compare.
I think back to the day I met you.
I had to have you in my life.
It took months and I got rid of the things in our way.
And I thought we’d be together till my dying day.
But it just did not work out that way.
Now, I am lonely and alone.
I try to reach out, but I still feel you deep inside of me.
And no one else can compare.
Did you know it would happen this way?
Do you ever think of me?
Do you know that I may never love again?
If you did know, would you care?
