Roses are red  
violets are blue
I get so nervous
when you're far away
I don't know why
I guess I'm built
that way
I really don't know
what to say
I don't know what
to expect
You will hit the beach
for a week
I will be here
not able to eat
Probably won't even
sleep
Not knowing what
I should do
Your life will remain
the same
My life
is going
to change
You will still drive down
that driveway
Everything in
your life
will remain the same
I was just a
substitute
To you know
who
I am the one
that had to stay
in the shadow
Even the one
before me
So I would not
exposure you
I became
obsessed
I could not tell
anybody
about you
Except for the ones
in my circle
everyone else
I had to hide
for you
Nothing was going
to change
no matter what
he said
Even if he beat you
or mentally
abused you
It was going to stay
the same
For the status
For the sake of face
even for your
kids sake
You stayed with
that abuse or maybe
it was just an excuse
Even when you're laying
in my bed, you said
you felt safe
with my arms around you
Nothing was going
to
change
Everything was going to
remain the same
You have wished the
worst of him
I know I'm saying things
over and over again
You probably won't read what
I wrote to
you
Roses are red violets are blue
I am truly going
to miss you
I wish there was something
else I could do
Maybe it will work out
for both of you
to get closer
To be as 1 instead of 2
or maybe they'll
be another
or you go back to
the other
I want you to know
Mary Ann
I love you

Simba
