The One Who Got Away

My heart literally hurts.
My chest is in pain.
Life without you
Will never be the same.

I can't blame you
Because I did you wrong too,
But now that it's officially over,
I don't know what to do.

We started out as friends
As I denied my feelings.
You came to me;
You wanted more with more meaning.

I did, but I was scared.
When you tried to be there, I left.
I thought you were better than me,
The best man I ever met.

As time went on,
I regretted my actions,
Got caught up in my insecurities.
They stopped me from acting.

I couldn't believe you chose me
When I knew you deserve better,
So I carried on,
As if I never met you.

I finally got the nerve
To look you in the eye.
Such a beautiful man you are.
It shook me inside.

I tried to mend what I tore,
But the damage was done.
I came back too late.
You found someone.

I'll never forget your smile.
I'll never forget your kiss.
But your presence in my life
Will forever be missed.
