Rumours

People tell rumours
Because they have bad motives 
They're jealous
They snatch from others
They're greedy
They're overbearing
They're mischievous
But I tell only because I'm careless
I'm simple, straight forward
I believe my senses
I believe what I see 
And so people pretend to be friendly
I believe what I listen 
And so people say sweet words 
I tell my feelings 
And so people make plans
I'm educated
I see only evidence
A chance event
Can make a long long story sometimes
I believe my wisdom 
I make my own judgement
And try to convince others sometimes
When one day I found that
I can't understand why my lover leave me 
He didn't see my hard works anymore
He didn't listen to my feelings and love anymore 
He didn't apologize with his sweet words anymore
He didn't smile with his sweet appearance anymore
Just like
I didn't see his heart at the very beginning
I believed my own rumours 
Which my eyes and ears cheated my heart
Oh my god
Now it's too late

You're right .It's fate and nothing can be done. If you're still young, hope and wait for the second chance.
