My greatest teacher

Finding someone who taught you to love but didn't teach you how to live after he left…
Love is a one great mystery
Of w/c at first I thought was corny
Until a cupid hit my lonely heart
And that’s when everything starts

You are my greatest teacher
You inspired me to be better
Most of all, you taught me something
I’ll never forget even after my ending

You taught me how it is to love
You are to me a gift from above
You helped me be a better person
Be unselfish and listen to reasons

With you, I felt so strong
I felt so right, nothing may be wrong
I was overconfident coz I have you
As I even thought I’ll forever do

I thought you taught me everything
And I can prevent all obstacles coming
I thought what we have is forever
Nothing can part us from each other

But now I know I was so wrong
Coz one day you left me alone
You left not teaching me
How my heart to you can be free

When you left you took a part of me
Losing you made me feel empty
Coz it’s not just a teacher I lost
I lost the one I love the most
