I Was In Love

Folder: 
Others

Continuing to run through my mind

are these thoughts of what went wrong

it's been four months

since I made the mistake

of letting you go.

Every new man I met

I automatically compare to you

You were perfect.

Everything I saw myself with in the future

was put together all in one person

We always had eachother

and at the same time falling in love

I thought I would be there forever

but it didn't work out that way.

Instead, I fell for another

who wanted the dreams I had

who was ready to settle down and commit

But I wasn't sure you were

so I left.

and held his hand til the sun set

I thought he would treat me kind

and surprise me with sweet kisses in the morning,

but instead of falling in love-

I fell deep into a trap

and he broke my heart.

Looking back

I know for a fact

that you never would have been like that

Now I'll never know

what would have happened to us two

if I had only told you the words on my mind

that I was in love with you.
