It was over before

It even had a chance to begin

You know what you want

And I was not it

I don't know why

Maybe 'cause I am shy

Maybe because I never know

How to show my interest

In a man

I understand, though

I know why

It just still hurts deep

Cuts me into pieces

The knowledge that

A woman like me

Shall never have

As wonderful a man as you

A woman like me

Can only have

The throwaways

The slime balls

The nasty creeps

My job came between us

Because you let it

Even though I promised you

I would quit it if you said the word

That you meant more to me

Than all the money in the world

But you threw it all away

Didn't give love a chance

You knew there was something there

I felt it too

We had a moment of happiness in the sun

But my job killed my hopes

My dreams

Of finally being happy

I wanted to give you my all

I wanted to love you and yours

But you just callously tossed me aside


I have no regrets

I got a moment of happiness

I had a brief feeling of being alive again

I had a glimpse of what love could have been like

You made me smile

You made me laugh so hard

You made me hope again

I will cherish those brief moments

With all my heart

You meant the world to me

And I will never hate you

Because you renewed my faith in love

I will always be here for you

Sadly, it will be only in my origianl role I played in your life

As the quiet friend who stood in the shadows

And watched you get hurt

And stood there, mourning your heartbreaks

Trying not to cry for you

Just being there

With open arms

Giving you my unconditional love

Supporting every decision you make

Even if it IS stupid

Listening to your tales of romance

Cringing inside as I wished it was me

Getting those kisses that you waste on other women

Women who are so undeserving

Women who just throw you away

You deserve so much more

You deserve the world

And you should know in your heart

That if it was mine to give

You would be the owner of the entire universe

My candle will always burn brightest

When thoughts of you cross my heart

I shall always look back

On those golden moments

I will cry for a while

Mourn the loss of something so beautiful

I may not choose to move on

To love again

Only time will tell

But you gave me a reason to not give up on love

And I will forever be grateful

I cherish you

And your memories

As long as I stay in your heart as a friend

That is all I desire

Just think of me once in a while

I will be fine

Since I can't have a man like you

I am happy to live a life

Of solitude

As a single mother

I can raise my daughter

To be better than me

And be the woman

People adore

And she will be the one

With the power to love and forgive

And bring happiness to my life

The happiness that unconditional love brings
