You Deserve Better

I’m not what you need 
You deserve better
All I ever did was hurt you 
You told me you loved me
I didn’t reply
I was too scared to share how I felt 
I never stopped loving you 
We are not together but you are always on my mind
I wish I could go back and change what happened but I can’t 
It’s too late
I never spoke up
I hid how I felt 
I wish I would have told you how I felt 
Now it’s too late you found someone who wasn’t afraid
I still love you 
I hope the best for you even though we aren’t together
You mean the world to me and I hope that you knew it 
I just want to see you smile
Your smile takes my pain away 
I just want you to be happy
I just want you to have what you deserve 
The same love you once shared with me.
