Promises....

Promises...

The promises that you make to yourself
Are the most important ones
My promise to myself
To never fall in love again
I broke that promise

That promise was made after a relationship of two years
To be married in the spring.
That ended almost a year ago
The worst heartache I thought that a person could ever feel
Until I met you.

You were a friend
Nothing more
Until that nite when fate
Brought us together
That was only 2 months ago

I tried my hardest
To keep my promise
It didn’t work
I fell into love with you
And that was that

I never told you how I felt
Hurting was my biggest fear
But you did it anyway
You told me that you couldn’t handle
Our relationship now

I was perfect you said
Cared more about you
Than anyone ever had
Had more love in my heart
For the people around me
Than I did for myself
What we had, you said, was
Perfect

My heart was broken
For the second time in my life
Why do you give up something
That you consider perfect?

I will never understand the hurt
That you caused to me.
I fell in love with you
Without even realizing it
A greater love than I had
Ever known

Can I keep my promise this time?
