Taken

I had to take one more look at you Just one more before I say goodbye I don't want to lose the image of you The memories of you flashing in my mind I remember our first kiss I love you seem so new to me I was at home in your arms I am sad to say goodbye I keep asking God why I guess some people love lives forever and others just for a moment, I guess that's us I am trying to be happy for you... Trying The good part of this is one of us found happiness and I am glad it's you I am in a dark lonely place, feeling sorry for myself but I will be ok... This too will pass... This is not my first goodbye... Love don't stay I don't want to love again, it's too painful I am OK living in this pain and unhappiness The web of dishonesty had to come to an end I guess you got the better half of goodbye I have one question... Did love exist or was it all a lie... Was I just a game... I know I didn't win... But did you? I learn this lesson in life sometimes in winning you really lose I guess it doesn't matter now, love don't live here anymore... I master the art of goodbye...

I had a friend, too, and went through the same circumstance. It hurts. With that person I came full circle but felt like I was in a box. Nothing I could do was right. I never did ask for the moon, just one little seashell of her time. To which I look back now and think perhaps I was asking for too much.
