Blame By this time I had talked To others about you They told me to walk away I never admitted how I really felt Not even to them So it was easy To tell me to forget you But I knew They didn’t have the whole story I didn’t tell them It was partly my fault That I should never Have told you I didn’t want anything More than casual When I really didn't know what I wanted until it was too late You had already pulled away and I will never know if it was self protection or my denial So I take most the blame For how I feel now And what became of the us That never really was |

how much we take for granted at times...and how we would do differently now....we live and learn and go forward....hoping to desprately grow and change....to complement those who touch our lives, with love and understanding. |

we lived parallel lives... word for word almost every verse: You had already pulled away and I will never know if it was self protection or my denial So I take most the blame For how I feel now And what became of the us That never really was .........

Mercury~Thank you! Sy~Thank you for reading me! Lee~She doesn't speak how she feels b/c she is afraid of rejection and b/c she doesn't, he has no clue... Ed~Thank you so much!  M~She recently got the answer you know. They talked and he said he thought she didn't want more...now it's too late. So it was self-protection on his part...sad. KristieSue~Thank you!  Susan |

You've brought me to tears. I didn't want to remember but you made me. Nevertheless, It's nice to know you're not alone. |

Each chapter pulls me more and more into your story.I can remember this feeling and sometimes it causes us to sufeer and lose alot, but on the samehand it teaches us lessons to use in the future to guide us to that perfect love.Kepp going girl  Crystal |

You had already pulled away and I will never know if it was self protection or my denial So I take most the blame For how I feel now And what became of the us That never really was ~ These two stanzas say a lot more than what may appear at first glance. Enjoyed! |
