lost world

by Heat*her Cancer - Not entered

yesterday I sat there 
trying to be happy for you
i was ushered down the aisle
and i sat beside a stranger
then i saw your face
and you were so excited
i didn't want to ruin your big day
as you kissed her
tears spilled down my face
because i wanted to be that girl
i wanted to be the one you'd embrace
i wanted to be laughing as you fed me your cake
i wanted to spend the rest of my life with you
but i want you to be happy
and later on you danced with me
and i was thrilled of course
and i laughed
but i couldn't stop crying
because i love you too
and you used to hold MY hand like that
but i want you to be happy
i saw you again years later
and you were still happy
and i'm still miserable without you
because no one could ever replace you
but i want you to be happy
so i watch as you drive away
and you're still happy
its been years since I last saw you
and i heard she passed away
i wanted to be there for you
as you had been there for me so many times
at her funeral i tap you on the shoulder
and ask if there's anything i can do
after all, i just want you to be happy
you tell me she was your world
and you can't imagine life without her
i tell you i know how you must feel 
because i do
so we stand there weeping
and i wish i could have made you happy
but i can't
so i support you and try to ease your pain
and i try to hold on forever
but you let go
and now my world is gone too
