The Wrongness of It

I didn't realize that from that moment on
her feelings for me would assuredly die.
I didn't consider how much the demise
of her caring would lead me to cry.

I didn't understand the depth nor the span
of hurt I would suffer after she left me...
Once I hit a woman, a woman that had
taken the time to care for me.

On that day I destroyed
the closeness we had shared.
On that day I made a terrible mistake
that I could never repair.

"Whats that, what I did was wrong.
Don't tell me that it was wrong.
I've lived my whole life
with the wrongness of it."

EasterSunday

This is from many years ago,
and many times I have prayed
that she would find a wonderful
man that would love her and care
for her and appreciate her, and
treat her like the angel she is.
She's living in Indianapolis now
and according to a mutual friend
she is with a wonderful man...

Thank you Roniece and nakdthoughts for the wonderful responses...yes Roniece this is hard to write about because it stirs up so many feelings and reveals something foolish I did when I was younger...something that keeps coming back and slapping me in the face...something that only a fool would do and when the memories visit they linger with regrets...I took down a picture of her awhile back of her a I all dressed up going to a Banquet, and a friend of mine that had seen the picture was asking me about her, why I didn't marry her, and all I could tell him, was we didn't get along...I didn't want to go into the details...Roniece thank you for the nice hug...I dearly appreciate it...James
