If You Let Me

She was all I ever wanted.

Never would I understand why she wouldn’t let me have her. I would take good care of her. Not like the others. Not like those others... I saw how they treated her. Every one of them. I watched them come, watched them go. Watched them shatter her heart again and again. Use her, abuse her, and lose her. That seemed to be their slogan. But not mine. Not mine... all I wanted was a chance. A chance to prove myself.

All I wanted was her. But she was everything I couldn’t have.
