Literature Text

Once upon a time I pledged my loved to a girl
I loved her then
And I love her still

I had a shot at happiness
And yet I threw it away
Looked at it with a grimace

Pain it caused me to look away
Though you did not know it
I feel it each and every day

Words cannot describe the pain it caused me
I deserved it all and more, so
Please do not feel sorry for the person I have to be

I greet the sorrow
And welcome the grey
I live only for tomorrow

I do not know how you are doing
The only thing I know for sure
Is the earth is still moving

Many days I do regret
And though I try hard
In my dreams I cannot soon forget

I failed to be there for you in your darkest hour
Anything I have to say
In your ears turns sour

Life gave me the chance at sweetness
And I gave it away its true
My life is now filled with bitterness

I lost my shot at happiness
I love her, yes, but because of certain things I did not let us be together. I know that makes me a douche but I did what I thought best.

It still doesn't make it hurt any less though :/

My fucking heart wont let me forget.

This is a beautiful poem.
And remember not to let this hurt you too much- if you two were meant to be together, fate will surely bring you together again, in circumstances where you will be allowed to love each other all you want. ~
