I never knew sadness until you walked out of my life 

And my smile walked away with you 

I never knew speechlessness until you said goodbye 

Words said goodbye to me too 

My mind became a vacuum, I was drowning in emptiness 

Tears rolled down silently, the heartache was endless 

We still had plans to make, memories to create 

A family to build and a lifetime of partnership to continue 

But here comes the rain 

Not in real life, but metaphorically, it’s pouring 

And I’m fighting back to hold it in 

As my love ship kept sinking

I never understood the concept of “the one that got away” 

Until you slipped away… right out of my hands,

I wish I had a way to make you stay 

I guess Cupid had other plans 

So I’m hoping this is for the best 

I hope you’re cherished by whomever comes next 

Cos I have already given up on soul mates, but you will surely find yours yet 

And when you do, let it be the best one yet

…
