Sacrifices

Everywhere I go

I am reminded

Of what I sacrificed:

My happiness for yours.

I guess I should've known

You only chose to be with me

Because she was dating someone else.

I was your second option until she

Became available and that took a long time

Because she is a beautiful woman

With an intelligent mind.

I vowed to love you and I always will,

If she breaks your heart: I am here.

I just wanted to see you happy, so I

Knew I had to let go of old customs

And relationships.
