One Step Backwards
To hear that you are gone for good
and never coming back to me,
it breaks my heart and tears my soul;
I wonder why this has to be.
You say you're happy now with him;
I have to back away, I know,
and leave you to enjoy that love,
forget the way I hoped we'd grow.
You left three years ago and I
must carry on...at least, I'll try.
