Not yours to lose.

All those years ago when you left I thought my life was over,you were my life,the reason I woke up in the morning, the reason I went to bed at night, the reason I smiled all day long.As the years ticked by the hurt didn,t ease,anyone new never measured up to you.Women came and went and looking back now all deserved better than I gave them. I have wasted my life hoping each phone call would have your voice on the other end of the line,hoping each knock at the door I would see your face when opened,hoping each old friend would say you had been looking for me.I think we all feel the same way when someone we love ends the relationship.Years down the line I can sensibly look at what I had back then and although I don,t really like what is revealed it is oddly like getting a last minute reprieve.What did I have ,quite simply ......nothing. You were my night and day and for the time you were in my life I felt like a King, but I didn,t have YOU.So now when I look back at that part of my life I look back and smile.I had what has turned out to be the most enjoyable part of my life,I had laughter,drink,sex,fun times and lots of nights lying next to you.What I didn,t have was YOU.So we shouldn,t be sad about losing someone we never really had.Before we ruin our lives over losing someone we should ask ourselves if we ever really had them in the first place.
