My Lost Love

i walk down the street
its so good to be home
i see your old truck
and my heartbeat quickens.

i hope to surprise you
i know you thought me gone
but im coming back to my heart
i have shown that i've never left

i knock upon your farmiliar door
and am greeted by your dad
but the look upon his face
is equal to pity

i am welcomed in with open arms
and shown to your room
i knock and you open up
first your face is happy

then i see the regret in your eyes
and mine wander to your bed
i am shocked
and then i understand

i see you love her now
i have been replaced
love forever is no longer
what is shared between us

i say good luck
and turn to leave
with questions of confusion
everyone wonders how i can leave

so simply, i reply
" if you are happy, i wont protest, thats all i want for you.
and ill always be waiting
in the wings for a hopeless second chance"

then i leave, to the house i bought
and i realize
that leaving was
the biggest mistake of my life
