I Can't Make You Love Me ~ 6.9.2013 ~

This is the song that inspired me to write this ..

I sit here thinking...
Maybe there is a little drip of hope for us to be together...
Maybe you will heal soon... and you will be able to love again...
Maybe you will forget about her, and move on... and start something new...
Maybe... you will try to forget about your past and start focusing on your present...
But... again... I was mistaken...

My heart was aching the morning I woke up thinking of you...
Why am I thinking about you when you are a thousand of miles away and have no idea who I am...?
Why am I caught up in this circle?? Why??
I heard that you are still in pain...
That you called her because you missed her...
And that her memory brought tears to your eyes...
That broke not only my heart... but every single emotion inside of me was shattered...

You still love her... you still want to be with her...
And her memory causes you pain and pain and pain...
And I'm here alone, feeling so cold, helpless…
 Thinking about you...

Please stop! I tell my heart! Please stop thinking about him!!
Just …let him go! Let him out of your system..! Out of you!!
Please... for your own sake... just move on... he is in pain and he needs time to heal...
And you won't be able to fix him...

I can ! I can give him my all !  

My heart argues..

I can make him feel free again..

make him see again ..

erase his pain and replace it with every single feeling of happiness..

I can do whatever it takes ..just to see his smile ..

I can lay down beside all night and just look into his eyes ..

offer him myself and let him bury me inside of him .. 

I swear .. i'll anything ..Just to see him here.. beside me ..

ill even wait for him , if that's what it takes to be with him..

I will stay awake .. until he arrives ..until he walks into my life..

No, you cant.. I try to slap my heart and face it with the cruelty of reality..

you can't do any of that ..

nor you can change things ..

just accept it ..

he is in love with someone else .. and his heart belongs to someone else..

his heart is already buried in someone else's heart..

His hands are meant for someone else..

and his eyes are created for someone else..

all he can see is her , and all his heart can feel is love and pain in the same time .. for her..

So, forget it !!

he will never be inside of you nor he will be apart of you ..

he is gone..

gone ..

forever..

My heart wanted to cry... but it stopped itself from going down a long painful road...

It felt so much pain .. the weird pain .. the kind of pain it never felt before..

the pain where its not described as pain .. but ..something I cannot put into words..

It left without a word and just left me to handle the situation ..

I looked in the mirror and said...
I need to forget about you...
About everything related to you...

I looked inside my heart...
Just erase him...

Erase every single detail about him... and please don't remind me of him...
Just imagine that he never existed...
There is nothing I or you can do about it...
My heart sits in silence... starts listening to the melody of that song that says...
I can't make you love me when you don’t...
You can't make your heart feel something that it won't...
Tears filled my eyes...I was holding them back...

I didn't want to show my heart the weakness inside of me...
I wanted to show it that I am strong and I can't get over this...
But...

The details of his face are alive... living inside of me... what can I do?
 My heart asks painfully...
I felt completely speechless... I had no idea what to say or do...
Just do it...

Turn off everything you feel...

I felt that I am making my heart do something that is almost impossible...
Turning off emotions can be really hard... but it’s the only thing that I could think of...
Will it work?  Will my heart be able to forget you, erase you, and turn off its emotions?

Its 3 am, I lay down my heart thinking...
When will I ever feel relieved? When will I turn my emotions back on??

When...?

When...?

Your muse brought such rivers of thought and emotion... what a powerful glimpse inside the heart of wanting... wishing for more.. and that horrible place where you realize there is a wall that will never come down... It's been years for me, and I still ache in your words.
