Thoughts and Things

Guardian Angel

I had believed you when you said

We would last forever

Your promises to me

Were items that I treasured

So I wasn’t prepared

When you walked out the door

My heart was shattered

When you said we were no more

I cried and pleaded

I tried reasoning so you would stay

In the end I still watched you go

I fell to pieces as you walked away

For many days afterward

I felt lost and lonely

But you had already moved on

And you were really happy

It didn’t matter that I still loved you

And dreamt of you every night

You were the only one I wanted

Yet you were oblivious to my plight

So I made a decision

Since I knew I’d only care for you

I decided I’d always be there

To love and protect you

I’d be the shoulder you could cry on

The heart that would understand

The ear that would listen

The one willing to lend a hand

I’d be your guardian angel

I’d look out for you all the time

And maybe… just maybe, one day

I could once again call you mine
