I'M the Man On Your Mind - He's the Man In Your Heart

Something,
these days, 
is different.
We 
touch
but I know 
you 
don't 
feel!
Why- 
is there 
distance???
We're 
standing
so close!
Why- 
does 
this seem 
so unreal?

I speak
your name 
with tones 
of love,
but you 
never seem 
to hear.
The signs 
are there,
I know 
what 
I see-
The end 
of our love 
is so near!

I could 
never escape 
the feeling
that 
our love 
was 
fading away-
like when 
the sun 
disappears
and is
replaced 
by 
a cloud
on 
what once 
was 
a sunny 
filled day!

The beginning
of 
the end.
Are we 
standing
at 
the start?
Right now-
I'm 
the man.... 
on your mind,
but 
he's 
the man.... 
in your heart!

You truly 
deserve 
to be 
happy,
and have 
love
in a life
without 
strife!
It was 
never 
my intention
to neglect 
our love,
and
hurt 
the love 
of my life!

Wishing 
for change 
would be 
futile,
your 
heart 
has found 
a new love.
I know 
in my mind
you gave 
me 
fair chance
to be
the only 
man 
you 
dreamed of! 

What more 
can I say-
"I love you!",
but 
I know 
it's a thing
of the past!
I will 
never forget
I once 
had 
your love-
a love 
I thought
would last!

For us 
there will be 
no tomorrow.
It's quite 
clear 
that soon
we will part.
Right now-
I'm 
the man.... 
on your mind,
but 
he's 
the man.... 
in your heart!

Nice! I enjoyed the read... So unselfish to rather see someone move on to another and be happy — in love...
