A Love Found Too Late: Between His Ex & Best Friend

The pain is longer 

The story is shorter 

And it ends with a heartbreak between two lovers 

 

Introductions are for

the people that want to put a name to the face that changed their lives 

One way or another 

Good or bad 

For love or for hate 

It was never their own to decide 

When the person would cause them an illness of pain 

Or perhaps the opposite, far from our eyes 

 

The first time 

I laid eyes on him 

My soul wanted to be along his side

Yet my mouth would say hello to his friend 

And Id be with him til I felt nothing more than an empty bin 

He took all he could, when he could

But never got what he wanted 

So he left and chose to play more games with other girls 

To waste away time and feed on the vulnerable and hopeful 

Fantasies of love in disguise 

 

The first time 

I spoke to him 

I felt a shiver down my back 

That I was entering a different realm with this one 

And it was going to be hard to keep track 

It wasn't the unknown that scared me 

It was the person that didn't know that made me worry 

Because I knew the possibilties 

 

The first time 

I fell in love with him 

I tried not to notice, I even tried 

To not keep track of when and the details of how 

He treated me right, He spoke like a true man, 

And I was full of happiness even in the darkness of God's hands 

He himself 

Was beautiful inside and out

His life was like mine 

Chaotic yet sound

The days that were hard 

Were the days I found peace 

The times that I fell in laughter 

Are the times I remember after 

The memories we made on our dates and the intellect that went along with it 

Were intimacy and love that entered

Both our mindsets 

 

His mind was my mind

My heart was his heart

We grew to be inseparable, but we gone to far

We both knew, It would end in chaos

In spite of it all 

Reality hit us 

We loved the same person 

And couldn't bare to watch him get crushed

So he left first 

And I stayed behind 

Thinking, hoping, trying to survive

 

However all fairytales end with a heartache 

Of either one or both 

That never chose to admit they cared in the first place 

 

- secret of the day: touching the mind is the type of intimacy everyone craves
