How can i be another’s.

how can I be another’s now,
when I was yours in every vow?
You never asked, you never tried,
but still, I stayed there by your side.

You never loved me—wasn’t close,
I was the one who gave the most.
You took my light, you took my name,
and walked away without the shame.

I built a world around your smile,
you stayed for seconds, not a while.
And even then, I held on tight,
to fleeting touch and quiet nights.

They say there's more, that love won’t end,
but how do I just play pretend?
When every heart that tries to stay
still isn’t you, still fades away.

How can I be another’s true,
when I was never loved by you?
But every part of me still swears—
I loved you more than you were there.
