Adieu

April 29, 2017

So I hear you've found the one,

the girl you're going to marry.

And now I know, I'll never be the one,

the girl to make you happy.

To you, I'll just be there;

a friend who cares.

Maybe a little too much.

I've always let my hopes fly too high

But this time, I thought they'd reach the sky.

So as you can imagine -

When I found out;

the ring on her finger that shows you who cared about -

My hopes went crashing,

thrashing,

screaming,

shattering to the ground.

You might never know my feelings for you.

But I'll never forget; my almost,

my could've been,

my now "adieu".

So, with sincerest of words,

good luck to you.

You've found your one.

I've lost another.

But she's gained a happily ever after.

Goodbye, my Almost Prince,

don't worry about me.

The life we could've had will soon be,

but, dear Anthony,

Not with me.
