Once there was a man who had an addiction.
Once there was a girl embroiled in complication.
Once there was a place in which he was first struck.
Once there was a guy, happy, who couldn't believe his luck.

Once they went out drinking, and had a lovely date.
Once alone together, she surrendered to her fate.
Once he said "I like you" and she liked him too.
Once they had a connection, when one and one made two.

Now they are both confused, and needed to be alone.
Now she has found space, in a place called home.
Now he has a fountain of tears where once there was a heart.
Now she has decided that they really have to part.

Now that she has nothing, she feels she is complete.
Now that he can't smile again, his heart weighs down his feet.
Now he thinks about her, all the memories locked away.
Now he tries so hard to forget the happy laughing days.

Will she still worry about him? or find a new man?
Will he ever win the girl he loves in the end?
Will it really be over? Can she get on with her life?
Will they ever be able to overcome their strife?

All he could do is envy the laughter they once shared.
All he could feel is regret for the times he made her mad.
All they could feel is the heartbreak and the pain.
All it really matters is if that she would try it again.

Every question he wants to ask
Every question is whether they would last
Every question of his was led by another
Every question is for her to be his lover

He wants to prove he is sincere
He wants to show she is to him, so dear
He wants her to know there can be conditions
He wants her to only give a confession

She wants to now place herself first.
She wants to be lonely rather than to be imprisoned, at worst.
She wants to be independant, to take care of herself.
She wants to have time alone, to remember oneself.

If she really is hurting him, she said she'd let him go.
If she understood his feelings, she would then know it's not so.
If she just gave him the choices , and if he knew what to do.
If they both work together, wouldn't they pull through

But time has taken prisoners, their lives are now entwined.
But even if they never meet again, the past is not left behind.
But can he start all over? Just forget her and move on?
But even if he can, will she be glad with what she's won?

Is that really what he wants, to never see her smiling face again?
Will it make him happy, will he live on without pain?
Will he be thinking of her, is he too proud to cry?
Will it wrench his heart in two if he sees her kiss another guy?

And can she understand, and not put him in the friendzone.
For it is far too much to bear, for not letting his feelings ever known.
And he wants her in his life, and wouldn't mind taking it slow.
She told him she likes him, but she still needs it to grow.

If only she told him to live with patience, to give her time to heal.
The past can't be changed but has left a scar so real.
Before anything happens, before everything changes,
Before we regret any decisions.

For we don't know when things, that now of what we see.
Our present happiness, will just turn to be only memories.
We don't choose who we can love, and feelings don't really die.
You can find it in your heart again, I love you, so please try..
