Last To Know

Spinning the ring you gave me on my finger,
a promise that things will get better in time,
a symbol that made me truly yours.

Does it hurt you, as much as it does me,
that we hardly speak anymore,
you must hear me as my heart
cries achingly out for you?

I never thought we could be together,
yet alone,
perhaps you only wanted the best of me,
and now you have managed to lose it all.

Perhaps you gave me your love,
but never to keep,
and I was just the last to know.
