Living With a Blind Heart

The signs were all there.
I just didn't care.

You have been the first one to ever confess your feelings for me.
I pretended I couldn't see,
But really, my heart said I wasn't ready.

We've been friends for four years,
Now four more.

You now haunt my dreams.
The illusions of what we could have been,
I wish they would all end.
If only I wasn't so afraid.

Now it's too late.
So, let us commemorate,
The dates we once celebrated.

I was afraid.
And I'm glad you never saw me break.

Now that I know,
I want to pretend it was all a show.
And, I'll never let you know,
The feelings I had before.

After thinking it through,
I wish I never knew.

But, I can't change the past.
And I'm glad to know this didn't last,
Because you moved on so fast.

It's my turn now.
If only you could have waited more,
Because our love was worth fighting for.
But, I guess it's time to let you go.
