Next time

You are not the one for me,

this I already know.
Because I'm the only one who cares, as I see.
you never really did confirm it though.

My eyes have long been blinded.
My heart has long been hurt.
'Coz my feelings, you have never minded.
Now back then, I know what we did was just flirt.

But gradually my eyes were opened,
and my heart escaped the pain.
Now I see you again only as a friend,
but some things will never be the same.

There is a reason why things like these happen,
why I had to fall in and out of love with you.
Though I don't know what, why, how or when.
But I know that these are simply what I had to do.

So now all has been done,
and I guess it was just a test.
An obstacle to see what I'd do, if I'd run.
But I was intact when I got out of that mess.

The things I've done, I don't regret.
The choices I made will make or break me.
But all I've gone through, I shan't forget.
Even though you and I just aren't meant to be.

Though this time, we can't be together.
But that's ok, I've already moved on.
Maybe next time around, we would be for each other,
in my next life, or another world, in a different dimension.
