Past Was Past

It wasn't meant to be like this

I swore I could come to this party

I would be fine, past was past

Then I saw you there

It was like my heart was thrown down

Everything came back, little by little

That ache returned, made its presence known

Day by day I had let go

Just one glimpse of beauty

Taking me back to that day

When "good bye, I love you

But it's not enough", was uttered

I had picked myself up, brushed off

Returned to a sense of normalcy

With just one glimpse all the work is gone

Maybe I’ll always love you

Maybe I have to come to terms

Realize I can't change it
