Do You Remember

Do You Remember the Time...

When you forgot it was my birthday. And you went to hang out with your friends. And the next day, when you realized it was my birthday, you asked me why I didn't say anything to you. Remember what I told you?

I said it was because I loved you. And the only thing that I cared about was you being happy. And I knew you would have been happier spending time with your friends than with me


Do You Remember the Time...

When you went on that 'date' with that guy, and I didn't stop you. And then you heard my friends say that I was upset because of it. And you asked why I didn't stop you. Remember what I told you?

I said it was because I loved you so much that the only thing that mattered to me was you and your happiness. And I knew that you would have been happier with him than with me


Do You Remember the Time...

When you canceled our plans to have dinner on our anniversary because you wanted to go to that concert with your friends and party with them. And when I said it was ok, you asked why and said you could tell I was upset. Remember what I told you?

I said it was because I loved you so much that I wanted you to be as happy as possible on our anniversary. And I knew that you would have been happier with your friends than with me


Do You Remember the Time...

When you broke up with me. You said it was because I didn't care about our relationship. And I said that I understood. And you asked why I didn't care and why I had given up. Remember what I told you?

I said it was because I loved you TOO MUCH. And that all I wanted was for you to be happy. And I knew I didn't deserve a girl as perfect as you because I couldn't make you happy. I said it was because I knew you needed, and deserved, somebody 100times better than me. I said you deserved somebody that not only loves you but can also make you happy. And I knew that I wasn't that person. And, as much as I loved you, I had to let you go and let you find somebody that would make you happy

And then you told me, "You are an amazing guy. Any girl would be happy with somebody like you". And then...you left...And you never came back...

I never quite understood that. But I never really tried. I knew I wasn't good enough for you. I knew I wasn't 'amazing' like you said I was. I accepted that you wanted, and needed, what I couldn't give you. But...I never really moved on. I tried to. But I couldn't. I kept loving you, and still do. And I always will. I just wish...you loved me back. So then I too could be happy. But know that I'd sacrifice everything, even my own happiness, if it would give you your happiness. That, my love, is why I let you go.

Because I remembered the day when I told you "I'm in love with you". And you told me..."I can't love you back"
