Because My Heart Desires

My whole life, I felt like something was missing, like   my heart's desire   was only half full. But, I was okay.

Then one day, 
 because  you liked me, 
 because  you wanted me,  because  you took me out on dates, 
 because  you made love to me, 
 because  you needed me and I needed you too, all that changed.

For the 1st time,   my heart's desire   was filling up, and it was finally full. Nothing was missing. 

But, then one day, 
 because  you still loved your ex, 
 because  you went back to her when she needed you,
 because  I couldn't go back to feeling like something was missing,
 because  I didnt know how to let go, and
 because  now, you even have a new girlfriend.

In hindsight, I let   my heart's desire   make me unloveable, and even though I'm not okay right now, I will be, 
  Because My Heart Desires.

A nice poem and yes you will be ok. It's their loss and you deserve so much better. My man left home when I was 13 years old I lived with my dad they would of been married 25 years their next anniversary the man that took my mam off us was 22 year younger Like a thief in the night in a blink of an eye he some how won her over. God will give you the desires of your heart Amen Better things await us just around the corner
