Confused

What happens when your heart plays tricks on you,
you think you love someone but its not true,
the love you feel is for another,
that one person who treats you like no other,
your love you kept hidden and masked for someone else,
because you were afraid to tell the real person how you felt,
you sat there thinking about what to say,
it was on your mind every night and day,
when you were ready to tell what was really on your mind,
it turned out you were out of time,
now you sit there thinking to yourself how could it be,
that your true love aka soul mate could just up and leave,
