It's been 2 years
So why have you still not let me go?
Don't you remember what happened that day?
Or do you just not want to?

Don't you remember how you stormed off after our fight
And how I kept up for hours waiting for you to come home to me

Don't you remember how you hurt me when I finally came to talk to you?
Do you not remember
How my feet froze
And your heart stopped
When I entered the room and found you under the sheets with her?

Do you not remember?
Or do you not want to?

I remember the guilt that flashed in your eyes
For the briefest of seconds
Before you were gone, the real you at least
And the coward we both despised was back to take your place

I remember how you looked me in the eyes without any emotion
Maybe except a bit of sadness
Not because you were doing the dirty hours after we had a fight -
God, we didn't even break up! -
But because you got caught in the act

Don't you remember the strangled gasp that left my mouth?
Or the tears that spilled down my face, betraying me and saying everything that my mouth couldn't?

Don't you remember how bad you hurt me?
How bad you broke me, and all our innocent dreams
Into tiny little pieces scattered all over our summer romance story?

How is it
That I can still feel the touch of your lips on my skin, on my most intimate parts
While I lie under a new lover
And you don't remember at all?
Or that I can't seem to forget that slight birthmark on your left thigh, that used to be my favourite part of you
But you won't even treat me like the dirt under your shoes?

How is it that playing our conversations again and again in my head
In an endless loop
Makes me feel more alive than I've ever felt in these 2 years?

Everytime I begin to miss you a little
That day plays over and over like a broken record in my head
Your name falling from her swollen lips in sensual moans
Your hard and fast grunts
The indifference in your eyes on having been caught by me.

How is it fair
That the day that destroyed me completely
Is one that you don't even seem to remember?

Why won't you just let me go?
Why won't your face stop haunting me in my dreams every night?
Why won't the memory of your perfect face go away only to never come back?
Why won't you let me forget it ever happened and move on with my life?

Why won't you let me go, baby?
Why won't you let me go?
