Dreadfully Mistaken

I merely mistook the look in your eyes;
a new love blossoming inside me.
I found myself completely enthralled
blinded by majestic beauty.

My life became a fantasy
unaware of the sorrow that would find me.
It all happened so fast,
as if it were a dream.

At first, I was hesitant
but your promise reassured me:
"I will never hurt you"
you said on the phone quietly.

My life became so beautiful
with so many possibilities
and in that wonderful moment,
you were all I could see.

Until...
The day came.

We were both so happy
spending a wonderful night together
I had high expectations
but you had plans for another.

I was alone;
you were happy
you had a wonderful night
with her, and without me.

The next weeks were a blur
after hurtful words were shared
we ended everything we had;
the damage beyond repair.

I saw that you were happy
and I pretended to be ok.
you had moved on
but I just wanted to stay.

Fast forward to now,
we don't even speak.
I wish I could talk to you
but I'm too scared and weak.

But I know it's useless
and I know you don't care
you'd probably just laugh
and wonder why I'd dare.

I miss you, and I'm sorry
I just want to know you're there
I don't want to be ignored anymore
it just seems so unfair.

Now I sit here
watching you move on in your life
while I'm stuck here in neutral
and wallowing in strife.

I just can't let go
so I'll just hold on to the dream
that one day you'll turn around
and come back to me.
