I THOUGHT I HAD YOU



I knew the day we met

That we were going

To be good friends

Though I wanted more 


I couldn't stop staring

At your glowing skin

Neither could I shut

my eyes at your curves 


It was lust at first sight

Which later turned love

I thought I could nurture

But more like illusions now 


I believed you were for me

I thought I was for you too

But it's all crush to crash 'n'

Fall to stand and move on. 


Had i proposed a relationship then, that would be me on the other side of the kiss.

But i didn't. I couldn't. You were perfect and i was...me. I cared so much for you that i felt you deserved someone...better. 


Truth is i felt inadequate. 


Now here i sit having witnessed you passionately tongue wrestle your sufficient "other half" and i can't help but feel betrayed. 


I blame myself, though. It's all my fault.

I look back on the life that we shared, and immediately my heart feels an intense sense of longing. I remember when I said I wanted you to stay in my life because I couldn’t imagine living every day without you. I remember all the nights that we spent as if the world was ours, as if we were the only two people in the world.
