Could Have Been

Folder: 
Boys

I could have been the only one

I could have been your special one

I could have been the one to make you smile

I might have stuck around for a while



But we'll never know what could have been

Because you never believed in us, you never let me in

I wish there was a way to make you see

Just what you have done to me



I gave you my heart, you took it away

And then you expected me to stay

The only hope I can wish for you

Is that you find something true



Until then, we can never be

And so my heart, I'll keep with me

I'll stay in the light; you'll stay in the dark

Upon me you will never leave a mark



I could have been the only one

I could have been your special one

I could have been the one to make you smile

I might have stuck around for a while



But we'll never know what could have been

Because you never believed in us, you never let me in

I wish there was a way to make you see

Just what you have done to me



Someday I'll find someone new

And we will share a love that is true

You will still be here in the dark

Until you finally discover that spark



But when you do, there I won't be

And you won't know what to do without me

I could have loved you, that is true

But you couldn't see it, I should have knew



I could have been the only one

I could have been your special one

I could have been the one to make you smile

I might have stuck around for a while



But we'll never know what could have been

Because you never believed in us, you never let me in

I wish there was a way to make you see

Just what you have done to me



So the next time I take a chance

It'll be for more than a passing glance

From now on, I'll stand tall

And never be backed into a wall



My heart is mine, as you can see

And I intend to keep it with me

Until I find someone new

Who shows me a love so true



I could have been the only one

I could have been your special one

I could have been the one to make you smile

I might have stuck around for a while



But we'll never know what could have been

Because you never believed in us, you never let me in

I wish there was a way to make you see

Just what you have done to me


Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is from my sophomore year. I had just broken up with someone. He attacked me and my faith in a poem he posted here. I retaliated with this.

Summer after Freshman year, a friend told me I had become a real heart breaker over the summer. I guess he was right. I'm sorry for what I did, I regretted it almost immediately. I'm not gonna try to justify what I did, cause, there's no excuse for it. I still regret it. I can explain why I did it sometime, though, that's no justification, and it only makes sense in a convoluted manner. But......yeah.......I'm sorry.

That was great Kassi...I don't agree with parts though. Jason will never be able to love anyone but himself. He is full of the West County disease, and is so damn self-righteous that he doesnt even think so. You don't even kno who he really was Kassi, I mean damn, i was best friends with the guy, and I didnt even start to figure him out untill I had been excommunicated. But I think it's a good thing, you know? I'm so much happier now. Don't worry Kassi, Jason is just so fake. I mean, come on, I knwo how Kirsten feels now, and we are friends for it. Jason pushes people away for crap reasons, people he claimed to care so much about,a nd then treats them like shit just like everyone out here does to him. He is proally the worst of teh West County folk in soem ways, because he hides his ass-holeishness behind a figment of what he wants to be, and what everyone loves in a person. I never loved jason, I only admired his lies and the image he portrayed. Fake as everyone else...go fucking figure. I LOVE U SWEETIE....U NEED TO COME MEET MY PUPPY! ...AND VISIT MY PEOMS DANG IT!
