[hometext] => This is something I wrote for an old friend of mine that I still love (his style of poetry rubbed off on me)...the poem pretty much explains itself.
[bodytext] => I knew this would happen-- Even as he spoke the words, I knew he'd go back to her. Sooner or later, our time would end; I wish it wasn't so soon. I don't blame her-- She doesn't control his heart Even though she owns it. She's a good person; At least I know his heart's in good hands. I don't blame him-- He can't tell his heart who to love, Just like I can't order mine not to. He blames himself for hurting me again; I wish I could make him see that he's wrong. I don't blame God-- Why should I? He planned this long before we were born So I can't be angry with Him; My plans weren't what He wanted for me. Everyone tells me to forget him-- They say I deserve better But they have it all backwards. They don't know him like I do; They don't feel like they've lost their best friend. I wish things were different-- Maybe if I had the strength to tell him no, None of this would've happened. Maybe my friends wouldn't be blind to the truth; I'll never know. My feelings are no secret-- God and everyone else knows I love him, But my heart can't take the pain anymore. You ask why I said yes when I knew the end all this time; I can answer you in two words... Wishful thinking.
