One Year

Written for a girl who I hate so much, but will always be my friend.
I wrote this over a year ago, for a girl who remains unnamed.
---

My first girlfriend who knew me well, painted on my heart: Do not sell.
And she helped me when she closed her eyes, smiled such smiles that made me cry.
Every day with her was like a dream, but now those times are scattered.
This probably sounds insincere,
But I love you.

And thank you for your friendship, for that’s what I’ll hold so dear,
Thank you for making me, happy for a year.

My first girlfriend, who knows me still, showed me her life, it was full of will.
And I helped her when she closed her eyes, or so I really hope.
For a time we were so happy, and that was enough.
But people change, and time goes on, why do I still feel like,
Were breaking up?

One day I’ll break this aching grief; one day it will be enough!
And thank you for your friendship, for that’s what I’ll hold so dear,
Thank you for making me, happy for one year.

She said that I was the sad one, that memories will always dwell.
But it was only her, that she knew so well.
I loved the way she’d kiss me, that way she’d hold me near.
The way her body felt, sleeping next to mine.
It all brings a tear to my eyes, to know that it’s not the same.
I wonder if she feels this way too?

One day I’ll break this aching grief; one day it will be enough!
And thank you for your friendship, for that’s what I’ll hold so dear,
Thank you for making me, happy for a year.

She said that I was the sad one, that memories will always dwell.
But it was only her, that she knew so well.
Tie me and throw it away, why did I learn to only obey…
I threw myself away.

Re-arranging the songs, songs that make me sad.
Reminding me of a time, I’m so glad I had.
