It's late at night and I should be asleep.
But I'm not because first,
I need to think--I'll write down my feelings,
I'll make a poem before I burst.

For days now you've been in my thoughts.
The love I had for you was so pure and true,
That I thought it might have been real,
'Cause you said you loved me too.

Each morning when I woke up,
I would smile and think of you,
Knowing that I would be loved,
For that whole day through.

Never did I think you would hurt me.
I thought you were different from everyone else.
I guess that goes to show you,
I shouldn't be so sure of myself.

I never thought it would happen,
But one day it came to an end.
You made it sound temporary
So I again became your friend.

Then I heard there was someone else.
I felt so used and cheated.
But I pretended I didn't care,
I refused to be defeated.

Everyday I wondered,
What did I do wrong?
It all seemed so perfect.
Everyone thought we'd last so long.

Now it's almost like,
You're too busy to talk or even care.
I'm still trying to hold on,
But it seems you're not even there.

So for now I'll wear my smiling face,
And maybe one day you'll see,
The love I had for you
And how it'll always be.
