Right Girl,Wrong Time

Everyone has faced this story, so I know I'm in a long line
I wish I was still seeing you, even though they say love is blind
Two beautiful souls with good hearts, but love isn't always kind
Rebecca, you were the right girl for me, just at the wrong time 

I've been thinking about the past a lot recently 
so i'm writing this simply to bring some peace to me
you know I like to rhyme when I'm sad
but I wish you were here next to me, instead of this pen and pad 

we split in 2012, I've dated many girls since, but my heart still hasn't got closure
even though I've loved girls since, you're the girl that I never got over 
your beauty is matched by your kindness and personality 
cupid only paints us so many pictures, but you're worth a gallery 

I was too broken from my childhood to be able to love you the way you deserved 
I wanted to make you feel special, But I didn't even see my own worth
depression held me hostage, so I was too tired to cuddle with you
but if it meant protecting you, I would take on the whole jungle for you 

I wish we could meet now for the first time instead 
because you've never left my heart, and are regularly in my head
I hope you will be the biggest part of my future and more than an ex I miss from my past
even though we still talk, I won't tell you any of this, because so much time has passed

everyone has faced this story, so I know I'm in a long line 
I wish I was still seeing you, even though they say love is blind 
Two beautiful souls with good hearts, but love isn't always kind 
Rebecca, you were the right girl for me, just at the wrong time

Sorry for the very late reply, not been on much, I told her how I felt, but unfortunately she'd just started seeing someone. As long as she happy that's all that matters to me. Hope you're well
