From Him

Heartbroken 
I guess I was wrong.
I'm a total fool.
My love for you was so strong.
How could I have ever loved you?

You said he was no one.
You had no idea who he is.
Well, it's obvious he's someone.
With him, I knew what you did.

I gave you all my love.
You'll never know how much I cared.
My life just fell apart.
This pain I just can't bare.

I've been through this before.
Though it hadn't been with you.
I never thought you'd do this.
I always thought you would be true.

Now I must live my life without you.
Together we'll never be.
For you've found someone new.
And no longer need me.

  
12  10   1997  From " his " point of view.

Debbie, no one deserves to be dumped on, over insecurities. However I hope you are over him. I can go on about this subject, but I will stop here. You might not want to hear this! You are better without him. Specifically since you noted that he found some one so quickly. ~SKAT~

Must have been an awful experience for you till the truth sank in. Hard to know someone else completely I think which always causes problems. So sad,and recovery takes its own sweet time.
