My Sacrifice

There was one girl I loved and let slip away.
She called me up wanting to talk the other day.
We met up later that night.
She told me she wasn't feeling right.

I thought all my chances with her were buried.
She was now engaged to be married.
I don't know what to do I am getting cold feet.
My heart started to pound as I sat in my seat.

I said why do you feel like this?
Because there is someone out there I miss.
Well who is it and what are you going to do?
I don't know and the person is you.

The words I've waited to hear, like an angels hymn.
I asked about her fiance, if she was still happy being with him?
She said yes, he doesn't do anything wrong.
I looked at her and thought for a minute, but it felt so long.

I love her so much, to be with her I would swim the oceans.
Then I told her I would share my emotions. 
I told her I didn't feel the same way.
I told her she has a great life ahead of her and a great fiance.  

I said you are just nervous and everything will be fine.
I put her happiness ahead of mine. 
I loved her so much I would rather see her happy and not me this day.
She is already happy and who am I to take that away?

This is something I will never forget, 
and this is something I will never regret.
