Meant To Be?

You said you'd die for me,
yet you broke my heart.
We've never been 
so far apart.
You're back in my life.
So what do you expect?
What you're hoping for,
what you're wishing
isn't always what you get.
You had me once, but let me go.
I still don't understand.
I tried to reach out to you.
I only wanted your hand.
Instead I got your back,
which was always turned to me.
Maybe things happen for a reason.
Was it really meant to be?
