One and OnlyA Poem by James ProbertThe one that got away
We went our separate ways
But I still see you every day I still think of all the things that I Never got to say I needed you so bad But I was not your man You left me here to rot and die And it still makes me sad I can't get over you No matter what I do I'd give anything to turn back time When you and I made two They said it was a schoolboy crush But for me that's never what it was And just because we were so young That doesn't mean it wasn't love I saw you standing over there And my lungs couldn't catch the air I couldn't help but stop and stare As my heart fell in to disrepair I didn't want to leave that spot Just stand there 'til myself heartbeat stops 'Cause you are what I really want And no force can make me move on That day lives on in memory Love at first sight took hold of me No other girl can set me free And that's how it will always be I miss your random kisses And the holding of your hand Staring at those deep brown eyes And playing games of tag I miss all the good times At home and at the school I don't miss the sad times When you and I weren't cool I hoped for forever But It wasn't meant to last We are in the future now The past went by so fast I always think of you When I need happy thoughts You're my one and only And I'll love you 'til I'm gone © 2020 James Probert |
