An obsession?

Why do I still feel the same way
After so much that happened
Why does it still seem like the first time
Every time I see you
Why do you still rule over my heart?
Though I swore I got over you
Why my love?
Why?

Today, I saw you with her
Today, my eyes witnessed whom
You chose as your future
Today, I saw you live the life
I dreamed for us both
With her

And Today,
Like all the other times before
My tears are staining the lines am writing

How many times will I bid you goodbye?
How many times will I convince myself
That you are not coming back?

I never loved someone like I loved you
Nor will I ever
No promises were made between us
Yet, my soul committed itself to you

I can't even say that I lost you
For how can I lose something
Which was never mine?

I loved for the sake of loving
In you a new hope was born
With you I have known all the joys of the world
With you I have known all the pains love could bring

Call it an obsession
Call it foolishness
Call it self-destruction

But, this wasted heart still loves you.

Very sentimental and powerful, yet you'll find something or someone that will be the glue to your broken heart. Keep writing, it helps.
