Hiding while you try to heal

My heart beats so hard when I see you....
You can see it, can't you
The tears I try so hard to hold back
The love I try so hard to hide
If I show them the rejection burns hotter
The pain runs deeper
As you speak of her
Rather the fantasy you fell in love with....
You speak of her soft caresses
Were mine not soft enough?
You speak of your midnight feasts
Did ours not mean as much?
My heart laid out to you
Was it not good enough?
I offered you my love
I offered you reality
I offered to show you how dreams could become real
Yet this was never as good as your fantasy
You never wanted me as you wanted her
So I sit here trying to piece my heart back together
Knowing all those moments we shared...
Were only special to me
The connection was never as deep for you
The love was never there for you
The pain may wake me in the night
But I will never regret that I tried
For that love that I can never have
The memories will always be held close to my heart
Though you will be far away
The pain will haunt me
And my tears will continue to fall
Until the day comes
When I can blow a soft kiss to the wind
And finally say goodbye
