Holding On

I dreamt of you, I watched from afar, and hoped you would one day be in my arms, 

I wished upon a star and you came true, 

I held on. 

Beautiful lies that you told, I was what you wanted, 

Is that not what you had said?

I held on. 

I believed, let you in, 

I kept you close, gave you the side nobody else saw,

Holding on.

You awakened her, the one who romanced, 

I fell and held onto you, 

Yet your roses wilted, 

So many words unspoken, 

Repeatedly hurting me, 

Let go. 

Words you should never say, 

I was invisible, you told me to go,

Let go. 

No time wasted, 

Immediately found another to fill your arms, 

Flaunted and I saw, 

Let go. 

Why not me?

I compare myself, you don’t care, 

Let go. 

I cry and think, 

Let go. 

My friends all say the same, 

Let go. 

But I still remember, 

I look into your eyes for a fraction of a second, 

Everything inside me is still there, 

I still see you in my dreams, 

I picture you,

It was real to me, 

I still love you, I’m still holding on.
