I wanted so much <br />for you to love me. <br />I wanted so much <br />for you to care, <br />but you would always walk by me <br />as if I wasn’t there. <br />You said you wanted to be worldly wise, <br />and then you took him with all his lies. <br />You took him to be your partner <br />and in church, he said he would love you forever. <br />All I ever wanted <br />was you to love me. <br />Years have passed by <br />and I saw you yesterday. <br />You weren’t the radiant beauty <br />that I used to know <br />and I barely recognised you. <br />You had changed so much from those yesterdays. <br />Your sun tan looks had faded <br />and your auburn hair was now grey. <br />Age and life had taken their toll on you <br />and you were no longer with him. <br />He was but a distant memory in the past <br />and the lies he blinded you with never did last. <br />Your searching now for someone <br />whose love would be true, <br />but it's too late for me <br />as I have found someone new <br />and I cannot turn back the clock <br />even for you. <br />A long time ago, <br />I wanted so much <br />for you to love me, <br />but sadly no more. <br /> <br /> <br />6 November 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wanted-so-much/
