Your gentle laughter rings in my ears,
Blocking out every other sound that can possibly be heard.
Those soft, dark brown eyes, always make me turn my head,
Making me forget that I had a reason to break your heart.
Every day and every night, I think about you.
The rules don't even matter when you enter my heart.
I thought I shut you out,
But somehow, my heart never completely closed the door on you.
Each time I lay alone, crying, I wish you were there with me.
I don't understand why I still want you there.
I never have been able to forget you,
No matter how hard I try and how long I give myself time.
We can never share intimate things.
It's too late to turn back.
I don't want to go down that road again.
I just know, I'd get my heart broken before yours would.
Can you imagine, though, what it'd be like if you hadn't done that?
What if you really did fall in love with me?
Would I be trying to block you out right now?
Or would I not be even thinking of this poem?
What if you never hurt me like that?
Then maybe ... I would've loved you longer.
And I may have never broken your heart.
Of all the things I could give up, I gave you away.
