Drowning in Regret

Originally written on December 14, 2009. When I wrote this poem I was becoming too aware of lots of unrequited love around me. Mostly, the stories were what I call an "ex factor" where person A falls for person B but person B can't let go of an ex. The poem is really from the person A's point of view. In an unrequited love, a person often suffers watching the love interest not wanting to let go of a past love and still, he/she waits, watches and begs for the person to let go and notice him/her and then end up begging for the heavens to help him/herself let go of the love interest in due time. I don't even know why I'm explaining but people may read it in a different light and totally misinterpret it so I wanted to give some kind of a backgrounder. hehehe.

Drowning in regret 
Will you ever see me
Standing, waiting
While you're drowning in regret

Flickering lights
Hides the tears falling
From innocent eyes
Terrible lies

And you can never let go
Not even if I asked you to
Not if you don't see me
Standing, waiting

Someday, I'll say goodbye
I'll let go of this someday
Will you realize?
I'm saying goodbye
