For Old Times Sake

Hold me tight,
But just for tonight,
But not as tight as before,
We're not that close anymore.

At least not in that way,
We've drifted further apart with each day,
We have waited it out just to see,
If we could love one another casually.

But I've been a good friend to you,
I've always been there for you,
You say you don't know,
Where did the people we used to be go.

You say you don't understand,
Whatever made me let go of your hand,
But you never asked me to stay,
If you wanted me to, you did not say.

Now for old times' sake,
Go ahead and repeat that mistake,
Cause the moment is passed now,
I've stopped counting the days somehow.

Let it be what it is,
Though we never intended for it to turn into this,
We had something good that did not last,
Let's not be constantly reliving the past.

I have nothing but love for you,
Though you've often questioned how that could be true,
Well you better start believing me,
If you wish to set yourself free.

From this long and drawn out process of letting go ...
This grief and regret has kept your spirit low ...
