I told her it was over
Though I loved her still.
Her one night lover
Our relationship had killed.
So many emotions trying to erupt,
Anger, love, nausea, and pain.
The words came out so abrupt,
Any attempt to save us would be in vain.
So many tears we both shed
She was sorry, but the damage was done,
We could never be wed,
We could never be one.
Though it pained me to send her away
When all I wanted was to hold her close,
The sin she committed that day
Set her on the path she chose.
We tried to rekindle that which was lost,
But with trust gone
It was to high a cost,
And this sin she could not atone.
We maintained contact for a time,
Not letting the friendship die.
I guess I was being kind,
Neither of us could let it lie.
Finally I found someone to share my life,
It was a magic moment
I would make her my wife
And lose all the pain of the previous opponent.
The friendship fades to acquaintence.
Acquaintence fades to "I knew her once-upon-a-time".
Eventually, she is totally past tense,
And I am totally healed by the new love that is mine.
She calls now and again
But I am pain free
No longer is she my bain
Since my new love married me.
It's over.
It is really over.
A heartwrenching and sorrowful one...bravely described by your masterful muse, Ferrell. I once had such an experience...but i got over it, albeit slowly and painfully. Do read my Spiral Weaver...it was for this particular bane in my life. YEs it lives on...yes it is always there...and yes, i have also gotten over it. Smilesz.
