Reality sets in
How can this be
I spent my time being us
How do I be just me?
I never doubted our love
You always said you'd be there.
How can you go from the love of my life
To someone who doesn't care.
I try to grasp your leaving
But I simply can't see
How so easily it seems
You fell out of love with me.
Even though we ended
I still can't let go.
I refuse to move on
When this love is all I know.
If I could be granted one wish
I know exactly what I'd say
I'd have you feel the strength of my love
If only for one day.
To have you feel the love
The amount of love I give
How you complete my life
And give me a reason to live.
But no matter my thoughts
How I wish we had last
You are still gone
Putting me in your past.
I sit up every night
Thinking of things to say to you
But my thoughts don't create your actions
Every morning waking to see we're still through.
So I'll spend my days
Pretending to be happy.
In reality I'm dying
Because you no longer need me.
I'll always love you
It's written now in this rhyme
I'll love you always
Until the end of time.
I know he always had a spot in her heart, but she did come to realize he wasn't her "true love." For that I am grateful.
Once again I ask for your vote if you can relate to her words.
