Putuskan cintaku
Dan saat ini engkau selalu ingin bertemu

Ingin aku memelukmu lagi
Oh di hati ini hanya engkau mantan terindah
Yang selalu ku rindukan
Mau dikatakan apa lagi

Kita tak akan pernah satu
Engkau di sana aku di sini
Mesti hatiku memilihmu oh

The lyrics of Raisa's song, Mantan Terindah, describe the feeling of looking back at a lost love and yearning for it again while still being aware that it can never be the same. The first verse implies that the person left her but now wants to start a new relationship. The singer confesses her love and how much she wishes she could embrace that person again. However, she recognizes that both of them are in different places in their lives and are unable to be together again. The chorus emphasizes the inevitability of their separation and how the singer's heart still chooses that person even after everything that's happened.
In the second verse, the person is asking the singer to always tell them when she changes. They want to stay close to her even though they know they can't be together again. Nonetheless, the last chorus once again highlights the fact that they are still unable to be together, and the singer emphasizes how beautiful it was to be with that person, and the difficulty of overcoming those memories and feelings of love.

Mengenang di 10 tahun yg lalu, kenangan yang bgitu indah saat bersamamu kini tinggal kenangan semu, yg saat ini qt sama-sama berjalan di atas keputusanMu.
Ntah apa salahKu pada Mu
Maafkan aku kalau aku salah padaMu
Meski sekarang aku sdh menikah dan memiliki anak dari SuamiKu
Maafkan Aku Virgo
Karena kamu meninggal kan aku tanpa saya tahu apa salahKu padaMu😢😢😢😢
Kok sedih ya gue. Harusnya aku sdh bahagia.
Mungkin aku cuma penasaran tentang kesalahan apa yg aku perbuat hingga dia tinggalkan aku.

@ZoValdano
Sudah setahun sejak komentar ini, bagaimana perkembangannya?
@elinaaltamaya628
bareng-barengnya galama, kenangannya juga gabanyak, udah pernah sama yang baru juga begitupun sebaliknya, tapi setiap selesai gamonnya ke dia terus, padahal dia udah punya dan hubungannya juga bertahun-tahun, seneng juga liat dia sama yang sekarang, mau senyakitin apapun dia gatau kenapa bisa memaafkan dan memaklumi, setiap langkah selalu aku dukung walaupun dia gatau, kalo denger nama dia pasti malemnya suka kebawa mimpi, setiap mimpi kalo gak bilang kangen ya minta balikan, pernah sampe nangis juga, kadang bingung ini harus gimana karena korbannya pasti orang baru, udah mau 7 tahun padahal wkwk
@Chandoran
