I Would Have Held On To My Heart

I Would Have Held On to my Heart

Looking back on our time together 
I see it as a learning tool
Lessons on life and relationships
Not found in books or at school

I wanted so much to get to know you
hearing all that you had to say
And my heart wanted to believe in you
but it hasn't always turned out this way

There are days when I wish I could turn back time
to the days when we first met
I would open my eyes and pay closer attention
understanding your true mind set

Now dont get me wrong I think you are great
the best man I've ever known
But you were not ready for a relationship
which time has truly shown

I know that we would have become great friends
each of us doing our part
We would have shared good times and laughter
but I would have held on to my heart
