Now and Again

Now and again you said that you were going to stay by my side

Now and again you lied.

Now and again you promised you will not hurt me

Now and again your words stung me.

Now and again I tried to fix it

Now and again I found out you broke it.

Now and again I tried my best

Now and again I felt like I failed a test.

Now and again I felt you did not love me

Now and again we broke up because you did not fight for me.

Now and again I sent you a letter

Now and again, the only words I got back are ‘I hope you get better’.

Now and again I tried taking you out of my mind

Now and again you seemed to stay stuck by my side.

Now and again I promised I will not let you go.

But now and again you did not give us a chance to grow.

So I decided  to do

What I thought is best for you

I saw that the only way that you might be happy

If you are actually free of me

And it is when I am not with you

Even though I will always and forever still love you.
