Happy Anniversary

I’d be lying 
If I said that I was happy for this day
It’s my once a year reminder 
Of when my Angel slipped away 

With your hand, went my heart
As I watched the smile he put upon your face
Now the hardest thing I’ll ever have to fake
Is when you hear me say….

Happy anniversary 
From the fool who still can’t believe 
It wasn’t me
Standing there at the end of the aisle…
Every moment I’m forced to live 
With the what could’ve beens and this undying wish
Another years gone
Happy anniversary 

Please understand I want
All the best for you in life 
It’s just hard to watch ones fate
Standing by another’s side

If not for you I wouldn’t know
How one can truly touch a soul
That’s why this is so hard for me
Happy anniversary 

Happy anniversary 
From the fool who still can’t believe 
It wasn’t me
Standing there at the end of the aisle…
Now every moment I’m forced to live 
With the what could’ve beens and this undying wish
Another years gone
So happy anniversary…

He’s a better man than I’ll ever be 
For he’s touched the Angel that I watched leave
Just know I love you
Happy anniversary
