I MADE A MISTAKE

I look through a book of old memories & realize that I would have been better off never knowing you.

I sit on our favorite bench & contemplate haunting you.

I hear our favorite song & realize that the words are all wrong.

I drink our favorite wine & remember being loved at one time.

I see strange faces of the past & hear myself telling them that you would forever be mine.

Can you blame me?

It was a comforting self-inflicted lie at the time.

Now I look through a book of old memories & realize that I would have been better off never knowing you.

I really enjoyed that alot. The pain of breaking up with someone who seemed to be so right. You hate when it's over and wish you just had never meet them for it is impossible to forget them.

This is very heart felt. Sometimes I think I would have been better off not knowing some of my past x's or flings, but then I wouldnt know more now. I would still be making the same mistakes with new lovers. Great job Wendy
