The Man I Loved

Just letting go of a dream of someone who turned out to be a nightmare

 

I saw your face when we were young

And somehow knew you were the one.

We grew up from just simple kids

To young loves and our first kiss.

You were the only man for me

But I couldn’t make my mama see

And so we went out separate ways

I thought about you every day.

The years passed by, I had two sons

Made memories and had lots of fun

Their dad was just a crutch for me

Because with you, I could not be

Our marriage didn’t work at all

I made the break and took the fall.

I met someone else, who filled the gap

A man who always made me laugh

Mistakes were made while havin fun

But I knew that he was not the one.

A daughter soon was on her way

When I heard your voice on the phone that day.

You said I’ve loved you all my live

It’s time for you to be my wife

I gave my heart that you always had

You walked away, made me so sad

I raised my daughter on my own

Still knowing you were the only one

Five more years passed in a flash

And here you came, crawling back

You sat and cried and promised me

Thing that you could never keep

You broke my heart just one last time

Guess you were never meant to be mine

The pain you caused, he’d never do

You’re not the man I’ve loved, you’re just you.

The man I loved would never lie

He’d lay down for this girl and die

You’re not that man anymore

That makes it easier to slam that door

The man I loved is dead and gone

The love we had was just all wrong.

I’m moving on, thank God above

No longer bound by the man I loved.

so sad, but inspirational to others!! your point to others
is that you can move on and except that what you held onto is gone!
there is someone for everyone and you have yet
to find Him... He is there, and when you do find him
you will look back and see that every step you took was
just one more step toward your happy future with
the man who is worthy of you...

very raw and emotional writing...
