I'm not really a poet, but I still write poetry and have since I was young. So this is my effort for someone special. If it's terrible, please, they're only words. I may be a bad poet, but I know what love is... (and yes, I'm channeling Spike from Buffy...lol)
You came into my life when I wasn't looking for love
But soon you became the only thing I thought of
I longed for the moments we'd share our dreams
And I cherished each moment, we shared all those things
The things that we loved, the things that made us smile
I never knew then, you'd only be mine for awhile
There's never been anyone quite like you
I've searched and I've wandered, but no one else will do
You left me adrift, alone on this sea
And you said I'd be fine, but that's not really to be
You've moved on, and you seem as if your life has shined
But all I can think is that you left me behind
Do you really understand what you did to me?
If you did, I'm not sure you could live so free
Do you remember the song we claimed as our own?
I'll never forget it, and when I hear it I just groan
I have to turn it off because it's too painful to hear
Chasing Cars, my love? Remember how that phrase was so dear?
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
But now, you've disappeared and I have no hand to hold
That was your choice, it was not mine
If it were up to me, you'd be mine for all time
I'm not a good poet, not like you were
But I try and I try and it all feels like a blur
My head is spinning, and you've been lost so long
Do you even remember our love, or is it all gone?
So the lion fell in love with lamb, I said
You smiled and laughed, but now it's all in my head
I was the bad one, and you were my savior
But you left me flailing, with your bad behavior
I was supposed to be the one who would leave
But you caught me off guard, and left me deceived
I still see you smile, I still see your hair
I still feel your heart, but you are not there
All that's left now is just empty spaces
There used to be love in all of those places
But it's been over for a long time now
I wish I could stop feeling somehow
Sometimes when I sleep, I dream of you
I hate waking up, but I know I have to
I've watched you from afar and followed your life
And the fact you seem blissful, cuts me like a knife
But of course I want you to be happy, even without me
That's the only kind of love that I know how to see
It's not about me, it all about you
I want you to be happy in all that you do
I simply wish you didn't forget me
I wanted to be by your side through all that we see
But life was cruel and you were taken away
It doesn't matter, I still think of you every day
The moral of this, is don't fall in love
Or else you'll be dying inside until you rise above
All of the anger and all of the hurt
But right now I still feel like I'm crawling in dirt
Your life moved so swiftly that I was left in the dust
And I wondered what happened to all of our trust
You promised you loved me, said nothing could part us
Next thing I know, you're shoving me to the back of the bus
Where all the losers dwell, and everyone is forgotten
But when I pleaded with you, you only made me feel rotten
Like I'd made a mistake, or done something awful
You gave me no chances, and just acted like I was unlawful
I committed no crimes, but you wrote me out your life
You gave no explanation, but simply walked away and gave no thought to my strife
I used to be your world, but now I was nothing
I thought you'd get over it, I thought you were bluffing
But you were dead serious, our love was done
And all I could do was weep for the the person I thought was the One
Some part of me wonders, if you lied to me
If you really loved all the parts that you see
But you weren't strong enough, you weren't that brave
And all I could do was be your willing slave
Which made me an idiot, and made me feel weak
But without your love, my future was bleak
I've learned lots of lesson, and my life's been torn apart
I haven't had much time to think of my heart
But if I do think, you're still the one I see
However I know, we we never meant to be
