I was your best friend. <br />I cared so much for you <br />Look at everything now <br />How could you do this? <br /> <br />Remember, you also chose <br />to be in the relationship <br />just as much as I did. <br />Can I ask you why? <br /> <br />Three days later, you <br />create a lie. This lie <br />is why we remained us. <br />Do you know this much? <br /> <br />You told me I was your love <br />and your best friend too. <br />For this, I 'took you back' <br />Was it a game to you? <br /> <br />You wanted to love me <br />but I already loved you. <br />For this you felt guilty <br />Why couldn't you tell me? <br /> <br />You told me you were ashamed <br />For this you were not blamed <br />Now it is just a big lie <br />Are you ashamed of it now? <br /> <br />You gave me all these signs <br />I saw every one of them <br />But, I loved you so much <br />Did I want to see them? <br /> <br />You had to teach yourself <br />But, I loved you naturally <br />It was never a task for me <br />Did you ever love me? <br /> <br />I thank you for all of this <br />I learned what it was like <br />to love, and feel loved <br />Was your end ever real? <br /> <br />I do not believe that it was <br />For this you should have told <br />Then I would've seen it sooner <br />Why did I never see the truth? <br /> <br />I gave my heart to you <br />Only to have it broken <br />Yet, time always heals <br />How long must I wait? <br /> <br />We always joked about <br />who loved who the most <br />I see now, I always won <br />Ask me, do I love you now? <br /> <br />(August 18th,2006)<br /><br />Christopher G.
