My first attempt at Prose

I sang hate me like I wanted you to leave,

Find your own way and let me find mine.

But that leaves me here without you

And you somewhere with someone else holding you.



If I could just turn back time……but I can’t

Understand how this happened and let go…….but I can’t

The pain is almost more than I can take, but don’t hate me

If you did that too, there is no way that I wouldn’t break.



Now I slip away into nothingness and dream

Those days are almost too far gone now to even remember.

Is there someone else that could be my new dream?

I will never find out as long as I keep walking this road.



Our paths keep crossing and new memories we share.

It is so worth the pain to get to share a smile with you once more.

And every time I can’t help but think is there some distant chance.

That we could forget the past and just start over fresh.



I have changed so much and I know you have too.

You are still the woman I loved but you have found yourself.

I am still everything you loved too just more free and with it happy.

Not free from you, I would have given you a key to my heart to do what you wished.



I cant help but think did I really hold you back from being who you are.

I never wanted that, but you weren’t yourself and who’s fault was that.

Was it mine, was I too overbearing and protective of what I loved.

I pray not…….. I never wanted any more that to be happy with you forever.



So now what is in store for us, do we have to wait a lifetime to discover.

Our future, whether it be together or distant friends from the past.

There will always be a connection and you will never leave my heart.

Lets always remember the good times we shared, and never let go of them.
