Ring of Tears

Although it wasn't wholely agreed on

it was ended as though

love had never existed

and I let you go

It had been years 

since we had first met

but when exactly it was

I always forget

Does that mean it was never important

because I'm not confident my choice was right

how could something that hurt be good

its far too late to make it alright

At first we were friends

but the akwardness was heavy

and maybe it was me or both of us who gave up

but you stopped talking to me

Although my smile slowly faded away

I found someone whom I love too

I talk about him when we are together

though, once I thought to say "I love you"

One day he asked me to marry 

I asked for time unsure of what to do

that night I cried for so many reasons

then I called you

"Go ahead, if you love him."

That's not what I wanted to hear

"I hope you both the best, I fell in love too...

last year."

I cried silently

had it been than long since we last spoke

I hung up the phone 

that was the day my heart really broke

I don't remember 

what i told him the next day

I can't remember at all

what did I say?

. . .I lay in bed with a ring on my hand

he just called to say he loves me

and he'll be home soon

upon that statement I am so happy

As he hangs up I cry again

of course I am happy this way

with this life, with this person

just right now it doesn't seem okay

I stare at the ring what's it symbolize?

that I was able to love again?

Marriage, happiness

or tears I've cried since then?
