I told myself I was gonna do it right
if I could just have you in my life again.
But I was wrong, you broke my heart
just like you did back then.

I thought second chances meant
to start over new and get things right.
Now I know that’s a bunch of bullshit,
you only go through the same pain twice.

I shouldn’t have let you wander
and let your love go astray.
All the freedom that I gave you—
only made you go away.

I trusted that you would stay loyal,
you told me that you’d always be honest.
Well, we can see how well that worked out—
you went and broke your promise.

Don’t you say that I didn’t care
because I gave you room to breathe.
I only let you do what you want
because I didn’t want you to leave.

All I ever wanted
was a little bit of your time.
You barely gave me any,
but I gave you all of mine.

It’s the little things that matter;
that’s what we used to promise each other.
But now you’ve gone and let me down
to share that promise with another.

I was way too liberal,
and you took advantage of that.
Now some lucky bastard has you,
and I can never get you back.

I don’t know what they can offer you,
but I can give you all the love in the world.
From the east side to the west,
I wanna tell them all that you’re my girl.

And you know I will,
because I’m just that crazy about you.
So why are you going for someone else
who won’t ever treat you like I do?

Why would you wanna throw away
someone who will only treat you right?
How on earth could you prefer someone
who will only love you at night?

You said you loved me with all your heart,
and you wanted to go steady.
You wanted to commit and settle down—
but you clearly weren’t ready.

I guess forever was too long for you,
much longer than you thought.
You’re not as committed as I thought you were,
no wonder you broke it off.

I thought you had changed for the better
and you were ready to settle down.
But I guess your selfish past caught up to you,
so you turned right back around.

You said you would take me as I am,
that my love would always be enough.
I didn’t know that you wanted more;
it’s my one regret I always think of.

If you had told me what you wanted,
I would’ve changed it all.
To be the person you wanted me to be—
I didn’t know how, so that’s my fault.

Did you not notice the little things I did,
the crazy things I’ve done?
The little changes made in exchange for your support—
but you gave me none.

If I admit that it’s my fault,
will you give me another chance?
Give me some time to start this over,
and rebuild our love with these two hands.

I promise if I can have you again,
I’ll always put you above me.
I will give you everything you want,
but also everything you need.

With all the things I promised—
give me a chance to back those words up.
I’ll love you right one hundred percent,
with actions that will express my love.

If you give me another chance to love you right,
and let me work at my own pace;
The time it takes might be a little slow,
but not one second I will waste.

I won't let my fear stop me,
you'll get the love that you deserve.
I'll also give all the love I owe you,
and I won't just show you in words.

I don’t know whether to chase after you,
or leave you alone and walk away.
My mind tells me to be smart and run;
but my heart tells me that I should stay.

Everyone tells me to be brave and move along,
and deep down I know I should.
It’d be so much easier to let you go,
but I don’t think I could.

I’ve gone to the ends of the earth to follow you,
but I’m coming back alone.
What a bunch of wasted effort,
what’s the use of coming home?

There was so many things that were left unsaid,
and I didn’t even get a chance to explain.
There are some things that you have to know,
and I’m not letting go until I have my say.

I’ll admit that I hid some things,
if you let me back in I’ll share with you.
I’ll tell you of all the crazy things I did,
but only if you allow me to.

There’s something about you that I can’t let go,
something that I can’t live without.
These strong feelings that leave me hanging,
feelings I don’t know a thing about.

If I could bring myself to look at you,
I wanna see if there’s still love left in your eyes.
Don’t be stubborn and let it show,
just let those welcomed tears wash away your pride.

What we had was special,
what we had was great.
Marriage was coming sooner than you thought,
but I guess you couldn’t wait.

If you wanted to get married so soon,
all you had to do was ask.
“Get in the car. We’re running away.”
And I wouldn’t have looked back.

We had the rest of our lives together,
so why’d you want to rush?
You said you’d wait and take it slow—
but now that dream is crushed.

Love had obviously left me blinded;
cause you were perfect in my eyes.
Love had also left me stupid;
now I know that true love dies.

Love doesn’t come easy;
it develops over time.
You didn’t let our love grow,
so it prematurely died.

I thought you were strong,
that you would never give up.
But then you bailed out
as soon as the going got tough.

How could you just throw it away,
the beautiful thing we had?
I guess the ring meant nothing to you,
so I’m gonna give it back.

If I can never get you back,
I want you to be happy.
I hope you have the life you've longed for,
even if it’s not with me.

I’m sorry for the time I wasted,
please forgive me and forget.
I don’t know how you feel about all this,
but there’s not one moment I regret.
EDIT: Okay, so this deviation got deleted for some reason. I guess I must've put it under the wrong category. Well, I fixed it so hopefully it wont get deleted again. If you all would still like to favorite it...please feel free to favorite it...again =P

-----------------------------------------

It hurts when you love someone that doesn't love you back; but having the one you love not love you anymore....hurts even worse.

I know this poem may sound harsh at some points, but it's just how angry and stupid I feel. But just know that I still love her and I'll never love anyone like I love her ever again.

And I know that I refer to a third party, but I'm not saying that she cheated. I just have this gut feeling, ya know? Like, it's not, "WHAT happened to her to make her doubt our relationship?" It feels more like, "WHO happened to her to make her doubt our relationship?"

She went away on vacation to her hometown with her mom (who doesn't like me at all) back in August (remember when I thought she was missing?), she claims to have been confused for a little while.
Being confused left her vulnerable. Anyone (old flame or new) could've just walked right on in, said anything and everything she wanted to hear, made a bunch of empty promises............I don't even want to think about that...

And it may seem like I'm referring to this third party as 'male', but it may or may not be true. I don't know what to think, so I'm not going to think anything. We hid a lot of things from each other--jumping to conclusions isn't going to help anything, especially me.


PS Sorry if the poem is kind of long. But it doesn't even begin to cover even half of what I feel. I hope you all still read it anyways.
