Our Love Exists

We could be fire
but your heart turned cold.
Are you pleased with your performance,
pretending we never existed?
You tell me not to wait,
you’re committed to another.
Choices can’t be abandoned and
I understand
I think of you until it hurts
but I’m slowly becoming numb.
You tell me to move on but
punish me when I do.
What’s so hard?
If seeing me with another is killing you,
swallow your pride and
ask me to wait.
I don’t want this to be over
I don’t want to forget
I know you love me and
I know it’s real.
Stop pretending we never existed.
You’re worth the wait,
if you’ll let me.
