All I Wanted

[up all night]

When all I wanted was completion
I loved you like a lover should.
The compromise
The helpful lies
The unerring sense of loyalty.
And you said you've kept me like a keeper should
In cushioned harmony
In the perfect fallacy
Of having
One
True
Love
But I no longer believe.
The tragic irony of loving a master of disguise
And wanting the truth
Would make me laugh
If I wasn't the girl heartbroken.
So I'm ready to run
Starting blocks, waiting for the gun
To signal my right to leave
Forgetting I'm the only one
Who can pull that trigger....
I can hear someone calling my name
In pastures greener then these
And I understand
I'll be someone else's perfection
In the places you found flaws.
All I wanted was to love forever
But forever ended yesterday
So I cry because that's what's expected
In the moment between clarity and action.
And yet...
Deep down I know the tears will stop
When I say farewell to a boy who never was
My
One
True
Love.

awwwww, this is exactly what I'm going through right now. You have described my feelings so perfectly. It's so hard when you've given your everything to this one person, not even expecting half as much back, just wanting to be loved, and wanting it to never end. Even knowing deep down inside that they aren't "the one" and that we deserve so much better, the hardest part is to actually get yourself to let go. You just have to always believe that there is that someone out there waiting for your love and ready to love you with everything he's got!! Best of luck sweetie!!
