My One True Love

by Christina Yap   Sep 15, 2007


I knew love was complicated
But not this much

Since I started high school
You wanted to share your life with me
But I refused

You kept coming back
And I kept pushing you away

My third year
Was your last year
And once again you returned
Asking me to just give you one chance

I figured why not
I mean you have been so patient
And so persistent
And I really found that attractive

I gave all that I could give to you
But love
I never loved you
Not that I didn't want to
But because I was saving it for someone else
My one true love

I watched you walk down the aisle
And out of my life
To pursue your dreams and goals

It wasn't your choice but mine
A choice I made rather because
Reality said so

And now here you are again
Back into my life
Even though you never really left to begin with

You are here
And my one true love is not

Maybe I am wrong
Maybe my one true love is here
Maybe he has always been here

Just not the person I thought it was all along

Maybe he is you

Just maybe

Or am I just confused?

I knew love was complicated
But just not
This much
