He Could No Longer Deny

The day we first met he melted my heart
He held me so close we were never to part
Weeks and months past as our love grew strong
In each others arms is where we belong

Then came the night he never came home
I sat up and waited my mind so in roam
Eventually he appeared and found me in tears
But I knew in my heart my internal fears

We sat down and talked as he told me why
That he no longer loved me he could no longer deny
This girl he's been seeing is half my age
My internal fears grew to external rage

The day we first met he melted my heart
Never again will he hold me as I watched him depart
