My mother used to tell me
that it would be alright
That she would always be there
to love me through the night

She said I'd find a man someday
that would love me just the same
That he'd court me then he'd marry me
and share with me his name

Well, I met the man I waited for
and I knew that it was real
The strength of love I had for him
for no other I did feel

It was never perfect, no
but we loved each other true
Yet there was something missing there
that without I could not do

He loved me as no other could
and as no other come before
But in seeking of perfection
I found I wanted more

At night I'd sit and ponder
and think and wonder why
Does he really love me true
if I am not his bride

I could not stop the pain
and wondered if he knew
But I loved him more than those before
so I vowed to see it through

Then there came the day he hurt me
like he had done before
But the nature of the pain this time
had hurt me so much more

So that was all that I could take
and told him we were done
The pain should never hurt so much
if you truly love someone

I loved him too much to call it quits
and waited for so long
That now I sit and wonder if
what i did was wrong

He never really understood
why I could not hold on still
He swore the void that I felt
he would completely fill

I gave him chance, I waited enough
it should not take so long
To feel the love he says he feels
if it really is that strong

I feel better I often say
to my friends and family
But I loved him so much it hurts inside
and i know that he loves me

I see him still from time to time
he never seems the same
As the man I met that day
who asked me for my name

I know that his sorrow and sadness
are for loss of me
I tell myself I must be strong
and yet I wonder what could be

The love I felt when in his arms
was a love that never faded
And I know that the feelings in my heart
and bitter and so jaded

If he loves as he says he does
then he could be my love
As I sit here writing done these words
I swear to God above

I will, I must, I know I can
give him another chance
For pain or not I long to feel
the love that makes me dance

It may be hard it may be strange
but if he loves true
Then the feelings I once held
can be rekindled new

For in my life I loved and loved
sometimes unreturned
But love like his I've never felt
and my love he has earned

But fooled by empty promises
I will never be
This is I swear is his final chance
to ever be with me

Dear dolphin, I can relate to this. Isn't it time you gave "yourself" a "second chance?" Very well expressed. Chris

Love itself should be enough. Seeking perfection from humans is a mistake. Demanding and threatening to withhold love ransom is not an expression of love, but of possession. Give yourself a break, and give him one too. But if the ring is the thing, then maybe this isn't real love. I'm not trying to be cruel, just honest with how I feel about this subject. Hope I didn't completely misinterpret this. Good luck, dolphin.

Good Luck to you Dolphin. You can only give so many chances though! You didnt go into detail as to what he did to hurt you but I hope that he never repeats that behavior because you are too precious of a gem to be mistreated!
