Why I Strayed Part 2
I never wanted there to be pain for either of us, I only wanted happiness for the rest of our days, but I understand why we couldn’t be together then, I just had so much more to say
I wanted to love you for the rest of your life and give you all of me, but time just wasn’t on our side and sadly that was the way that it had to be
I wished you happiness even though it couldn’t be with me, and I truly hope that you have found it and there is no more misery
You deserve everything that you want in this life and more, I hope that you know what a beautiful person that you are, the one that you showed me before
You changed me, and I hope that I changed you as well, you were the best thing that ever came my way, and a secret that I could never tell
I want you to know I still think of you, not a day goes by that you’re not there, and although we’re not together now, for you I will always care
No one has ever touched me so deeply in the way that you did back then, you turned my world around, but at the same time you made it spin
So, I just wanted you to know the truth after all these years, that you were the one who healed me and showed me love, and took away my tears
You gave me happiness, something that I had all but given up on having in my life, and remembering you breaks my heart a little still, but I love knowing that you’re the reason why.
