Bitter-Sweet Pain

Oh, the sound of your voice
rings in my ear.
I remember how we talked 
eventhough we haven't spoken in months.

As the days passed,
I longed for you more and more,
Daydreaming about you with me,
and how things would've been.

But when that decision came, 
the decision that would make us or break us, 
I asked you for help,
for your guidance. 

The pain in knowing
that I couldn't have you, 
ached at me, 
and my heart.

The knowlegde in knowing
the emptiness without you,
when I let you out of my life, 
scared me.

It was either pain, or company.
Either way, pain was coming.
So, I asked you, 
And you decided to let go
Of the company so the pain...
could "ease".

Oh, how I wish, 
That the pain would "ease", 
but it just came harder...
much harder.

Pain...
Bitter...
Hurting me so much, 
cause I let you go.

Pain...
Sweet...
Knowing that I
won't force you to love me.

Oh, the Bittery-Sweetness of
Pain.
