Confusion

He came to me on a
night filled with confusion.
He said he wanted and needed me
more than anything else.

But my heart was
with someone other than him.
I tried to explain how I felt,
but no words could express it.

I left him there,
in the coldness of a January night.
He wanted to follow me as I left,
but I made him promise not to.

Confusion still haunts me.
Did I make the right choice?
Was leaving him that night
the wisest thing to do?

For now, I'm alone.
No one to hold, simply
because I gave up the one who
loved me for the one who didn't.

Very sad, but well written

Sad Indeed! Time heals all wounds I truly believe it eventhough time seems to stand still when you are hurting. Don't worry when you least expect it Mr.Right will come along.
Again it is the 'TIME' thing!
