If it was different

My darling,

Perhaps time is the true enemy in our story.

If she had not loved you first,

Had not quenched your thirst

I’m sure we could get along.

My lover,

I am the one who is truly sorry.

I have put thoughts into your head,

I have made you feel so dead

In hopes I would not sing a sad song.

My sweetheart,

What if things were different?

What if you could be mine,

And I didn’t have to pine

For any of your attention.

My honey,

I hope I can make things coherent.

I can’t be yours,

Though my love pours

Out at your every mention.

My heartache,

It pains me to resist.

I have to set you free,

Go to her and not me

For she is the true match for you.

My friend,

I must insist.

Though I may miss you,

I won’t cause you an issue

And finally wish you adieu.
