Why is it that the feelings that were reserved for you never found their way across my lips to caress you as they should have? When was it that I finally succumbed to my inevitable truth? That as I long for you, You course through her Because I never learned to fight for what I wanted. How can it be that though I tried, I was never the one who lit you up like July fireworks and I was nothing more to you than the whisper of a friendship that had no meaning. rebecca vitale
