At my favorite restaurant that I went often with you
The owner asked me
Why didn’t you bring your pretty friend?
Saying how we looked so good together

I kept smiling in case I shed tears
Shoving down bite after bite of my rice bowl
I told her I’d come back, I’d come back with you
Empty promises that I can’t even keep
Then I turned around

I ended up crying
I choked up and couldn’t say anything
Even up until a few days ago
You and I were right here
Your doodles that were on the window
They’re still there
Your lie, “I love you”

Do you come here sometimes by yourself too?
The place you always said was your favorite
You said you didn’t need any other expensive food
Where do you go, with you these days?
Then I

I ended up crying
I choked up and couldn’t say anything
Even up until a few days ago
You and I were right here
Your doodles that were on the window
They’re still there
Your lie, “I love you”

I think I’m lost
Like a child, I’m only looking for you
As I look at the three words you wrote
I will wait for you

I won’t resent you
I can’t hate you
Although the days we’re not together
Will be longer than the days we loved

My heart aches so much I could die
My breath rises to my throat
Your lie, “I love you”

Please
Let’s love just once more
