As I sit here all alone, Thinking of you all day long My mind can't help but wonder Why we didn't last forever. I knew it was the right thing to do For we contrasted each other. But deep in my heart, I still love you And God knows how much I need you. Our love . . . sweet and fair: In my heart, it will always be there. It was delightful and pure Very clear and not obscure. Our love, I thought, had a strong foundation For it grew from friendship, not infatuation unlike others It was no physical attraction Just plain thoughtfulness and affection. And in my heart, the mourning never stops For our love, though strong, was defeated No! Not by hatred, not by fright But by a single word, that is . . . PRIDE.
Reason for writing:
this was written because it was very inspirational to me. It talks a lot about the way teenagers are with relationships. They are at such a young age being so serious about something that might not even last. It talks about how we loved it while it was going on but somehtimes things just don’t end up working out.
