For The One Who Was Pulled Away

I read your words tonight
Salty tears made their tracks
I can't ever be the same
I crave your embrace
I am sorry we were wrong
I knew we were
Yet I didn't stop us
I didn't want to
I still don't
A selfish being I am
I, I, and I
Filling my words
With the letter i
I miss you
There's a void
In me
You could understand me
Quite unlike
Anyone I have ever known
I want to curse her
Her and fate
They stole us apart
Unwilling though we were
So misunderstood
Why can't she see?
But, I guess
She was right
She knew
How we felt
I won't hide my love
I know you wouldn't
Have
Either
But, you know
It makes me heart weep
To think of all
The smiles I caused
That I wiped away
With all that pain
I made you feel.
