Despite The Past

Despite the past I love you 

And forget when I reject you. 

That’s wrong.   

You played me for a fool

I’m done pretending I need you.  

Regretting the fool. 

Does that make any sense 

I’m trying to say I forgive you

But that doesn’t rhyme with logic 

So it comes out wrong. 

It’s illogical

To try and make sense of the past

And let go of the hurt and pain you gave

But here I am now

As I attempt to forgive our past

And forget every thing that we went through 

Despite the past I love you 

And forget when I reject you. 

That’s wrong.   

You played me for a fool

I’m done pretending I need you.  

Regretting the fool. 

Where is my sanity

I should revoke your existence here

Would I be better if I did 

But noting would change

It’s fantastical 

To fantasize the past can change 

It’s better to let go of all the heartache 

Yet it still lingers 

Dreams and hopes that won’t ever change 

Yet I dream one day I can let it go

Despite the past I love you 

And forget when I reject you. 

That’s wrong.   

You played me for a fool

I’m done pretending I need you.  

Regretting the fool. 

Therapy says to talk it out

We’d be here for days and weeks

I don’t need you any more

But I need to let you go... forever. 

Despite the past I love you 

And forget when I reject you. 

That’s wrong.   

You played me for a fool

I’m done pretending I need you.  

Regretting the fool.
