I know you thought we could make it <br />And I know the blame doesn’t lie with you <br />It’s not your fault-not even a little bit <br />It’s me and my selfishness, no matter what you argue. <br /> <br />I’ve known this was coming from the very first day <br />I’ve played along and you’ve done all you could <br />Though I’ve always known it couldn’t be any other way <br />I was never staying for ever…even though I should. <br /> <br />You’ve been the only one there through thick and thin <br />So you’ll always have a special place with me <br />In the end though, I’ve let my true feelings win <br />It’s for the best, one day you’ll see.<br /><br />Amy Carmichael<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/andy-3/
