WE

Confused and so frightened
I left you that day
If only my mind and heart agreed
Without much dismay.

Months passed by
My love began to fade
Realizing you could not
Give me what I relayed

My heart moved on
But the memories still remain
Your phone calls were there
Causing my heart such strain.

I loved you
With all of my heart
But you failed to do
Your own personal part.

Oh how I dreamed
Things would work out
But somehow I knew
With very little doubt.

I solituded my feelings
Swallowed my pride
Held my chin up high
With dignity and such stride.

Now you say
Youve found the one
Tears rolled down my face
As I have heard that same tone.

Your words were piercing
And were cold and hateful
Why so much hate
For someone you claimed to have loved.

You see love never dies
You carry it with you
In your heart it lies
Where the memories are too.

To love again
That is not the question
To find that one true one
Is not even the situation

You see I cried inside
For so many years
Long before the breakup
And yet you never would hear.

You failed to listen
To what I deserved
You took my love for granted
And then realized it too late

Finally you get it,
You finally realize
Just what I was asking
For now you found another.

I know things will work out
Because now youve learned
Now you will hear her cries
That you failed to hear mine.

The pain I felt
Is not of wanting you back
The pain I felt was finally
Letting the rest go.

I recalled all the thoughts
As they raced through my heart
The good and the bad until content
With the choice I made long ago.

You see time has a weird twist of fate
You worry of me moving too fast with another
How little do you know
I began to move on long before you let go.

My problem was facing that fact
Accepting it and understanding
That the simple of act
Of us was not withstanding

The man I spoke of
May or may not be the one
Ive thought that once
And boy was I wrong

Now I am careful
I dare make no mistakes
But one thing I noticed
Is hes got what it takes

Hes caring and honest
Open & kind hearted
Intelligent & sophisticated
As well as passionate and gentle

His touches are like none other
I know this to be true
And although weve just begun
Im excited as I feel anew.

I wish you luck
With all you do
Be careful what you say to her
As you have been wrong before.

Im sorry you werent the one
I had hoped you to be
Im sorry you experienced such pain
That I too felt along the way.

But no matter what has been said
I carry the good with me
Because our little girl
Is a part of we
