Your loss, not mine

by Izumi Nightroad   Jun 4, 2006


You left saying not a word to me.
I guess I should expect that.
You never spoke to me.
Even though I was right in front of you.
You shall never know me.
To be the jewel you lost.
Someday you will mourn the loss
And try again.
But my friend, Iâ??m afraid it will be to late.
I was right in front of you for three years.
No words, no emotions, nothing was directed at me.
You never made a move.
Why did I like you? I shall never know.
But when the day comes that we see each other again
I hope you fare well for I have mourned your loss,
But now I see it wasn??t worth the try.
You dated snobs, girls who talked only of themselves
But you never dated me.
I was caring of others, I did my work,
And I pushed myself hard.
I still do, but like always I am pushing myself a little to hard
And now there is another for
You see he cares for me.
Comforts me when Iâ??m sad,
Cools my anger
And most importantly heâ??s there for me.
Like you never were.
Heâ??s my best friend,
And my most trusted confident.
He likes me for who I am
Not wanted me to be something else.
He wants to protect me of creeps like you
And guard my innocence.
Something you never did.
He helps me solve problems
You would just shrug if someone asked that of you.
He cares when Iâ??m injured or when someone hurt me emotionally.
You couldnâ??t care less.
Someday I hope you will see me as the jewel you lost.
Even if you hadn??t moved I would have given up on you.
For you didnâ??t care for me and I canâ??t expect you to after
Three long years
You have lost a jewel,
But I have gained so much more.
Someone to care for me, and someone for me to care for.
Itâ??s your loss, not mine.
