I cannot love you

when I remember your lies.

I cannot look at you

especially not into your eyes.

I cannot get near you

when I remember your hate.

I cannot get close to you

because now its too late.

I cannot fall for you again

when I remember the pain.

I cannot allow destiny

to drive me insane.



I must stop lying to myself

when I already know why

I cannot love you,

even if the truth is denied.

Even though I love you

you do not love me in return.

Although I want to see you

the truth my heart has learned.



That's why I cannot love you

because now you are gone.

No longer can I hold you

because from our love you've withdrawn.



I cannot hold you anymore

no matter how much I pray.

I cannot kiss you anymore...

kiss all the pain away.



Now I sit here all by myself

wondering what else I cannot do.

And I realize that I can no longer...

I can no longer love you.
