My Sacrifice

There was one girl I loved and let slip away. She called me up wanting to talk the other day. We met up later that night. She told me she wasn't feeling right. I thought all my chances with her were buried. She was now engaged to be married. I don't know what to do I am getting cold feet. My heart started to pound as I sat in my seat. I said why do you feel like this? Because there is someone out there I miss. Well who is it and what are you going to do? I don't know and the person is you. The words I've waited to hear, like an angels hymn. I asked about her fiance, if she was still happy being with him? She said yes, he doesn't do anything wrong. I looked at her and thought for a minute, but it felt so long. I love her so much, to be with her I would swim the oceans. Then I told her I would share my emotions. I told her I didn't feel the same way. I told her she has a great life ahead of her and a great fiance. I said you are just nervous and everything will be fine. I put her happiness ahead of mine. I loved her so much I would rather see her happy and not me this day. She is already happy and who am I to take that away? This is something I will never forget, and this is something I will never regret.
