When it was just a crush,
And you were out of reach,
When conversation was minimal,
And I still believed...
You were worth it.

When risks and chances are given,
To be unappreciated by broken woman,
And thoughts of true love are but a faraway dream,
You never believe will come true.

I remember the days I'd do anything for you,
I remember the days I'd wished no one had ever hurt you,
I remember the days I thought I could help you accept your past,
I remember the days I thought you would learn to forgive,
The lies, betrayals and cheating men.
I remember the days I wanted to be different -- to prove good still exists.

I remember the days I thought I loved you.
I remember the days I wanted you for life.
I remember the cards, surprises, gifts.
I remember the day we first kissed,
I remember the nervousness, blushing, --stress.
I remember the day we first cuddled in bed,
I remember the nights you kissed me on the cheek,
I remember the day I found out I was temporary,
I remember the fear, hurt, anger, --regret,
I remember feeling my heart confined by locks,
I remember I did not feel safe.
I remember the days I felt Unimportant,
But after the time spent breaking down walls I did not create,
I realize nothing I can do,
Can make someone listen,
To why I feel for them,
When they can't see truth.
