Demon #3

We said goodbye one night beneath the stars
We walked away towards different paths
I thought you'd become a face with no name
But there's no human way to erase all the pain

We left a promise hanging in the air
That was forgetting that we ever met,
We promised each other we'd no longer care
Leaving behind whatever we felt

One day you may see me and I won't be looking at you
We will not talk because there's nothing untold
I don't know what to say or do
So many nights I cried over you

I apologized and took the blame
I didn't get a phone call or an "I miss you" text
Two years of silence and trying to forsake
Wasn't that enough to get out of my way?

You picked me up whenever I was down
When no one was there you were always around
So when you feel blue remember it's true
One time I thought the right one could be you

Is there a point in taking a chance?
There are no more reasons to start a new fight
Now it's too late to make things right
So why even bother to try?

Feelings might still exist, we just have to let them go
All I will keep are the echoes of your voice
One day you'll wake up and I'll be a ghost
Someday we'll wake up and forget what we know
