She didn’t want him to know She fell in love once before She thought he was the one Now it’s over But she's not ready to close the door
She lost her heart She wants to write about it But her new man can’t understand He thinks she’s still in love It's something she can't admit
She’s trying to be hard But that’s not what life's about She can’t deny her past Or how it made her grow She’s just being honest But it’s making him doubt
She decided not to think about it She had to pretend But a dream can't be controlled And the past can never be forgotten She wonders if her heart will ever mend
She’s trying to lower her guard Sometimes life won’t let the tears out She hopes her feelings don’t last She's trying not to let it show But she needs to be honest Even if he decides to walk out
I have a female friend who has written poems about a past love but she can't post them because a new guy might think she's still hung up on him. And maybe she is, but I told her she should not worry about that... that's what writers do...
