I Didn't Know It, But I Had It

By amphibianrose

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I said to him, that I was through. Packed up my things, out the door I flew. I never thought that I was rushing. How his heart, I was crushing. He did everything to keep me happy. Treated me with kindness, I thought was too sappy. I moved right along, and found another. He didn't go anywhere, only talked to his mother. The man I have now, acts like I'm not there. He sends me no flowers, not even a bear. I look back now, oh how I was dumb. I saw him with another, I'm absolutely numb. Why is it always, nice guys you don't get, but you did. I had it and didn't know it. Written March 18th, 2002 © on Mar 17 2002 04:23 PM PST   0 • 10
