I gave my all to you..
My body, soul, and heart
Gave my trust, through and through
Then sadly you let us drift apart...

Her more beautiful than I
Don't worry these aren't tears..
I will not cry

For you the greass was greener
on the other side
I stood back watching..
all this pain I was forced to hide

Shattered dreams and a broken soul
My heart weeped as I watched you go

She completes you..
something I could never do..
But know my love for you is honest and true..

How blind I was to not see
Our love together wasn't meant to be..

I'll let you go without a fight
Lonely I'll drift into the night..

There is much sadness here. It is hard to stand back and watch your love walk away! Take care!

This has happened to me before...they seems so much happier talking to someone else on the phone...or with someone else..I suppose sometimes we do get mixed up with the wrong one...and we suffer as a result of this...James

EagleOne~ Yes, it is quite hard.. and it holds a pain inside of it that nobody should ever have to endure. I've been through it just once.. and its one thing I never want to experience again. Thank you for your review and kind words. Best wishes  


jmlee~ I'm sorry you have also had to go through something like this.. as I once did.. its quite a painful ordeal. If I could have my way... nobody would ever have to get mixed up with the wrong one.. and no pain like this would be felt. I hope things are better for you now. Thank you for being so kind.
