The One Thing You Took From Me

I've broken our agreement by getting too attached
I let myself fall deeper, thinking we were a perfect match

And you said to push aside my fears & do what I did not dare
Tell you the truth -- what I really want -- put myself out there

So in tears, I fell beside you; I told you "I'm  your girl--
And you're the one, the guy I choose of all those in this world"

With those caring eyes, you looked at me, glad you knew the truth
You said "I'm sorry, girl, I think your sweet, but I'm still much in my youth"

And now, I sit here in a puddle of emotions as you part
You left all that was inside me, except one, you took--my heart

One sided love has got to be one of the hardest things in the world to get through. You put it so well..nice job. Hope you feel better soon..from experience I know it takes a while..sometimes a long while.BG
