Or if you deserve any.

I wonder if you had had enough of me,
or of your ways.

Maybe you are also wondering the same,
Expecting me to say something,
Or maybe you’ve completely forgotten me.

I wonder if you remember my name,

I never imagined I will be punished for this,
I never imagined caring about you will lead to this.

I am wondering if befriending you was my mistake
Or maybe I mistook your love for hate.

Well, I have moved on now
Made new friends along the way

But on some nights, I still remember you
And your smiling face.
