After everything I still care

You broke my heart,
and somehow, I still wonder
if you’re okay.

After all the words,
all the distance,
you still find your way
into my thoughts.

I tell myself I shouldn’t care,
I tell myself you made your choice,
that I should let the memories fade
and leave it all in the past.

But my heart never learned
how to stop caring about you.

I wonder if you’re sleeping,
if you’ve eaten,
if you smiled today,

I cannot help but think of changes on the horizon
how has she taken the news
how we used to talk about changes at work 
how we just found the perfect balance in one another

Because despite everything,
I don't want to see you suffer.

That's the cruelest part
you can break someone's heart
and they can still wish
nothing but peace for yours.

I don't know if you ever think of me.
I don't know if my name
ever crosses your mind
the way yours crosses mine.

But I hope, somehow,
when life becomes too heavy,
you remember that once
there was someone who loved you deeply.

that even after you hurt him,
he still worries about
whether you were okay.

And maybe one day
I'll finally stop wondering.
Maybe I'll stop looking for you

But tonight,
I still think of you.
Tonight,
I still care.

Even with a heart
you left in pieces,
I still hope
you'll be alright.
