The Burden of You

I don't want us to meet again, forever,

Even if we've become our best,

Even if we've changed for the better,

No, not in another life's test.

Our paths crossed once, left a scar,

Damage and pain that runs deep,

Difficult to heal, hard to bear,

I'm lost in its darkness, unable to sleep.

You were a storm that swept through my soul,

Leaving wreckage, now in vain,

To find a solid ground, I still struggle

As memories of you continue to pain.

So, let our paths separate forever, I say,

Let time and distance mend what's torn,

I'll learn to heal, to find my way,

In a world where your shadow is gone.

For I deserve peace and serenity,

Not the echoes of past regret,

I'll seek healing softly with dignity,

And the burden of you, I'll never regret.
