I Wish I Never Met You

I wish I never met your eyes, Never felt the pull, the spark, the lies. I wish I could erase your name, Before you ever set my heart aflame. I never knew the weight of love Until it shattered, pushed, and shoved. You came and made my world so bright, Then left me wandering in the night. Your smile once felt like home to me, Now it’s a ghost I can’t set free. The promises, the future’s glow— I wish I’d never known them, though. For every moment that I gave, Now, it feels like something I can’t save. I built a dream on fragile ground, And now I’m lost, no peace to be found. I wish I’d never held your hand, Never let you steal my plans, Because now all that’s left of you Is bitter memories, sharp and true. You came, and I thought you were the one, But now I see what’s left undone. So here I stand, with nothing new, I wish I’d never met you.
