I Don't Mind

Have you been rejected so many times
That you feel the pain when you love?
That you can't forgive and forget?
That you always feel empty?

I'm missing my other half.
Always have.
Always will.
I used to be unsure,
But now I'm certain.

The feeling of love is liberating.
The feeling of No is hell.
I never want to be a burden.
I wonder if he can tell.

He's left me here heartless.
He's left me here cold.
His smile left me speechless.
His kindness gave me nothing to hold.

I'm nothing,
I'm empty,
I'm only a shell.
If not for his happiness,
My life would be hell.

Love is what it is.
What is done is done.
This heaviness I feel
Weighs a ton.

So, I'll leave this year.
And never look back.
I'll try to move on.
I'll put on my mask.

His happiness is more important
Than anything in the world.
When my heart sunk,
He still stood.

So, I'll watch from down here,
Where my love has led me.
I'll see his happiness,
I'll cheer him on.

His rejection was sweet.
His rejection was kind.
And that's why I will endure.
I'll just keep saying I don't mind.
