I saw the tears roll off your cheek,
heard the desperation in your voice.
But not once did i feel your pain,
because it all happened at my selfish choice.
You were eagerly searching for an answer,
that just wasn' there.
All i could give you was an excuse,
with knowledge that your pain was rare.
When you were in my presense i avoided you,
trying to push you away, as far as you would go.
I didn't realize how bad i was hurting you,
didnt know you were losing your self control.
I was lost within my self
and never once did it occur,
that i coulda made a mistake,
my happiness i was never sure.
