It Took My Breath Away

It took my breath away 
When I saw you
And since then all my thoughts 
Have been about you

It took my breath away
When you first smiled at me
And since then all my smiles 
Have been for you

It took my breath away
When you told me that you love me
And since then my heart has been
Full of love for you

It took my breath away
When I realized I wasn’t your first priority 
And since then I tried my best
To mean more to you

It took my breath away
When my attempts at getting closer led to fights
And since then I’ve doubted every action of mine
And every word; good or bad 

It took my breath away
When you said you didn’t want me in your life
And since, every waking second
I’ve missed you

It took my breath away
When I said my final goodbye 
And since then my heart has broken into a million pieces
And every piece of it I’ve dedicated to you

This is so so sad, Majoj!! I think you did a very good job with it and I enjoy the repetition of the first line.
