I got a letter today
Explaining it all
I thought it was me
As I read, I saw I was wrong
In the letter it said
I want you to know
That you deserve happiness
At that my heart froze
I put down the page
Made some tea
Sat facing the sun
And continued to read
The man I had loved
Who didn't love me
Confessed a secret
I had refused to see
The ice melted
Piece by piece
Tears came
A welcome release
As I continued to read
Tears blurred my sight
I didn't wipe them away
They're how I knew I had life
He had fallen in love
But it hurt so much less
Because it was with our friend
The man in the dress
If I had opened my eyes
So long ago
I could have stopped this pain
But to big was my ego
There were signs everywhere
People told me all the time
But I ignored the warnings
Because I wanted him to be mine
Now I know
If it's not meant to be
No matter how bad you want it
Eventually you will have to open your eyes and see
The pain I had felt
Could have been stopped
If I had just opened my eyes
And listened and watched
