From His Perspective....

For the first time in oh so long
I cried in anguish love's sad song.
She called me; the distance melted away
I visualized her lovely face.

It was my choice to break awhile
Thinking of my selfish trials;
Knowing she was there for me
My princess, always mine to be.

Her voice was more than I could bear
Unable to see her standing there
She spoke those words I soon would dread
A fool I was--in over my head.

For all along I'd played the king
I made demands and everything
I'd never stopped to just admit
In my life how much she'd meant.

I laughed and joked, tried to seem the same
Yet my heart broke to hear his name;
My hopes then crumbled and so did I
As I hung up, I wondered why

I ever paused to let her go
I love her, yet she'll never know.
