The One I Never Had

When you came into my life 
I thought you wouldnt stay 
I thought you were just another one 
That just lasts for a couple of days 

To my suprise you stuck with me 
And all my secret pain 
You made me feel myself again 
You made me a bit more sane 

Then came the day I told you just 
The way I felt inside 
I had to tell you I coulnt take it 
My feelings I couldnt hide 

The time I spent with you 
Was literally heaven to me 
I felt I was on cloud number 9 
There was nowhere else Id rather be 

All I want is for you to see 
That Id go all the way and try, 
To make you happy forever more 
For you I would die 

You'll never know just how much you mean 
You really changed my ways 
You'll always be here in my heart 
Until the end of days. 

But still I keep my head up high 
No use in being sad 
I know deep down in my heart 
Youre the one I never had

My interpretation is that the 'you' is a fantasy to keep the writer sane. Not sure that is correct on my part ?

The poem speaks to brave and earnest love we all have in abundance but sometimes (or often) we lack the appropriate 'receiver'.

Every single one of my poems is about an actual person. Some of them about the same person but there has always been a human element to every single poem I have written. Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment on it!

Perfect and kind words for love.
"All I want is for you to see
That Id go all the way and try,

The above lines are true. We shall die for love. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
