Why can’t I forget?!

Why can’t I forget you!
The way your face lit up when you were happy.
The way you made me feel happy whenever I saw you.
That beautiful smile that sent a warmth running through me.
The sound of your voice that always made me happy.

Why is it that everytime I think I’ve gotten over you, I’m haunted by you in my dreams?
In my thoughts?
Everytime I close my eyes?!
Even after such a long time, why do you have to follow me everywhere?
Why can’t I just forget you!!

Now, everytime I see your image, all I feel is pain.
Whenever I think of you, I just want to cry!
If feels like I’ll never love again!
My heart died when you told me you didn’t love me.
Even though I knew you never could have, or will.

Maybe I deserve it.
I was asking for heartbreak.
I knew it would end badly.
So why did I do it?
Why did I tell you I loved you?
Why did I think you could ever love me?

Even though it was bound to happen, why does it hurt so much?
Even after so long, why is that aching hole still there?
It feels like my heart is ripped into shreds.
Will I ever stop hurting?
Will I ever forget you?
