Just a word of explanation before this one. This is basically a true story for me in more ways than one. I have a different style with this one, namely that the first and third stanzas are by one speaker and the second and fourth are by another.

You could never really see it:
The way I loved you,
The way I cared for you,
And the way I completely opened up to you.
It never really mattered to you.
Maybe I was wrong to believe
That I ever had a chance with love.
Maybe you cared once upon a time ago,
But this end is still bitter to me.
A bittersweet departure is all I have left
As I walk out into the rain again.

Don’t think what could have happened,
We both saw nothing could.
Maybe I let it last too long;
It did us both no good.
Please don’t think I didn’t care,
But I couldn’t love enough.
I regret that it’s been hard on you.
I’ve made it much too tough.
I regret this happened to you,
I hope love comes one day.
You were so much more than I deserved,
And it had to be this way.

It was never meant to be for us.
It was all over before anything began.
I wish I was what you needed,
But you saw nothing you wanted in me.
Would it have helped for me to change?
I guess that nothing would have mattered.
I really did love you,
But if you never loved me back it’s just as well.
It’s better to move on now
Than learn that somewhere down the road.
I understand now, I think,
And one day I’ll be the better for it.

Please don’t think unkindly of me,
And please don’t say that I never tried.
I’m sorry you have to feel all this pain,
I’m so sorry to hear how you’ve cried.
You can’t create a fire
Without a spark to make it start.
So the flames could never rise up in
The reaches of my heart.
The ending is so bittersweet,
But love may come one day.
I was never worthy of your love--
It had to end this way.

Believe me; I’ll never forget you.
