If I Knew Then

If then I knew you’d leave me,
I’d have stopped you right then and there,
The day you said you loved me,
And told me how much you cared.

You looked into my eyes
With your endless baby blues,
Held my hands and leaned in close,
And whispered, “I love you.”

I kissed you then and loved it,
Because I knew you loved it, too.
When we were done I pulled away,
And said the same thing back to you.

From then on, things were wonderful,
The sun shined brighter in my heart,
I laughed more, smiled more, sang more, too
For I knew we’d never be apart.

But then something changed in you,
Though I was so wrapped up in my bliss,
I thought we both were still in love;
I couldn’t see what would be the final kiss.

Finally, you said it,
You ended it so fast,
And then you walked away from me,
Left me standing there, aghast.

Without a glance you went away,
I watched your back and calm stride.
“I love you” I tried to whimper,
But I’d lost too much pride.

After you walked out of my life,
I cried and cried for days.
For I knew how much you touched my life,
In so many meaningful ways.

So now, as I lie here,
My heart broken, tattered, torn,
My feelings for you are endless,
Of love, jealously, and scorn.


I love you because you were
My soul mate, I believe.
But then by breaking my heart,
What did you achieve?

I’m jealous that you can move on
When I clearly cannot.
While you are out having a good time,
I sit in bed and rot.

My scorn for you is endless.
(The love balances it out.)
You left me breathless all at once,
Then decided to take another route.

Although I cannot change your mind,
My love will still remain.
So if you do want to come back,
You’ll have all the world to gain.
