First Hello
I see there's decency in you,
But you see none in me,
So you direct your thoughtfulness,
On someone I don't see,
I don't think you hate me,
But maybe that is false,
Because all your words and lies,
Have no meaning, or pulse,
You try to keep me here,
And I try to go away,
You won't let me leave you,
But I won't let myself stay,
We weren't meant to be together,
But you insisted so,
Our souls are trapped forever,
Here by the first Hello.
