it's always me — Summary

hansRomantic

sorry, if i ever didnt treat you well. nowadays, i'm always blaming myself for whatever happens. it's always on me.

right now, if you wanting me to go i'm already out of energy and confidence, to fight for this i may choose to give things up.

maybe, it is what it is to happen one day, you may be able to find someone who treat you better than i ever did

all i gave to you was anger and jealousy i failed to give you the best of me

i dont know how.

but all i know is, i do love you i sincerely care for you and i will always pray for whatever good things in this world to happen to you

live your best life, and take care of yourself,

my sayang.

Hans writes a farewell to someone he still loves. The speaker apologizes for how he treated his partner and admits that anger and jealousy were all he offered. He feels worn down, with no energy or confidence left to fight for the relationship, so he is ready to give it up. He blames himself for everything, and the repeated line "it's always on me" makes that guilt sound heavy and habitual.

What stands out is the tenderness under the defeat. He doesn't know how to be better, but he says plainly that he loves and cares for this person. He hopes they will find someone who treats them better, and he promises to keep praying for good things in their life. The closing "my sayang," a Malay term of endearment, ends the poem softly. The mood is sad and humble, full of regret, but also gentle and unselfish. Letting go is his last act of love.
