Chapter 1-The Experience

June 2008

I held you so close;

I was so naive.

Should have known you had another,

That you would inevitably leave.

 

Your compliments brightened my night

Saying I was beautiful in every way,

"How special [I] really [was]"

Every little thing you say

Your words to me mean a lot.

And even now, they haunt me so

And now it seems to me that all

We must do is but separate and go.

 

Both of us are different,

But together we were close!

You held me in your arms

When I needed it the most.

Three words, one night, you told me

But I guess I misunderstood.

I thought they meant something,

That phrase that I once heard.

 

Even now, my stomach still jumps

At a picture of your smile.

I just wish you could have stayed with me

Just for a little while.

 

We first met not too long ago

You were nervous, I was shy.

I'm sad to know that now,

After all, I say goodbye.

I'll always remember the time

You told me "What's on the inside will stay"

Now, I hold it dear, but,

On my bed, crying, do I lay.

 

My true feelings that I hide

And may never reveal

Burn at the thought of the other girl

Who your heart she did steal!

 

Now, I know I'm not that pretty,

But every night I do pray

That one day, a guy like you

Will come to take me away.

Now, as I finish this up,

A shaking hand do I use,

Tears rolling down my cheek,

My heart with a bruise,

I thank God I met you.

That you helped me find 'me,'

And in my heart you'll always stay.

And forever, there you'll be!
