This Time

You used to have such an impact on me,

this I remember all too well.
Somehow my heart still skips a beat whenever you I see,
but it's not the same anymore, that I could tell.

I'd moved on, yes, it's true,
but I'd be lying to myself if I said I no longer find you attractive.
Because you'll always look that way to me, no matter what I do.
And it's okay, 'coz even with this burden, I could still live.

But this time, that's all there is to it,
my heart no longer yearns for you.
I've recovered from that painful hit,
all that's left is the memory of what I've gone through.

You were such an actor,
you've managed to fool me.
I don't even know what that was all for,
but I'd been stupid, yes, I now see.

But This time I look at you with no bitterness,
no resent for what had befallen me in your hands.
That sun has already set in the west,
all that happened had been washed away, like waves on the sands.
