He'd sat by her for days, for weeks, for months , he had sat by her all year
He'd never missed a day talking to her ,
"Hold Her Hands and Never Let go " were the words that echoed in his mind
But he never did listen to those words ...
For She had so much love on him , so much that could even bring the whole world on her feet
She asked him,"Why are you so cold to me ? Why?"
If only he had turned back at that moment, if he'd smiled and said Sorry to her.
He looked at her , in his peripheral view , she looked like a kicked puppy , staring at the floor
He just turned away , trying to ignore the little voice in his head
"She's beautiful, and she likes you.Give her a chance" but he ignored it.
When he rode the train , he saw the seat next to him empty , sitting there all alone was he
Just yesterday she'd sat there smiling back at him with all the love she had in her heart
He just moved away from her , he didn't smile back , he just gazed sulkily out the window
He pushed her away. She looked so sad , but he didn't care .
She did everything for him , but he didn't care .
He got so locked on his thought and never did he give her a chance
Her Love was so immense that just showered like a storm upon him
He couldn't bear it , but all he did was ignore it .
Yes , He broke her heart a million times by now
But she never gave up, maybe that's what people call True Love
Often He was startled by the sound of his voice ' You Love her '
He shook his head 'No' But he knew he was lying
He lied to her all the time saying 'No' to her ,
But it was 'Yes' all along
She was so hurt that she nomore looked into his heart ,
She couldn't hear what his heart was saying all along ..
Yes, it's his fault , he'd been there, watched her , seen her sadness ,her loneliness
like his , and he hadn't done anything .
She tried to get close , to feel wanted , and he hadn't allowed her that ,
He didn't save her heart from breaking , He didn't save her ...
Her Voice haunted his sleep , sometimes she was there too
smiling and holding his hand , she always led him to her cold gray stone in the cemetery,
Then she disappeared.. Her Sadness reappearing as she faded , but he always went with her .
When He woke up , he would sadly stare at the mirror in front of his bed ,
He stared at it till he saw her face and then he cried " I'm sorry , so so sorry , I didn't know i loved you , but i did , I loved you so much , but i couldn't let myself Love you " .
Then that sweet illusion would fade , and he'd be all alone again ,
' You didn't have to be alone , you could've had her ' the voice whispered
He remembered everyday , every conversation , every time he stared at her lips, or listened to her soft voice, and every time he pretended she didn't exist , ' You should be happy now , now you don't have to pretend , she's gone ' the voice mocked him and he knew it was true ,
He felt it inside , the heavy cold weight of her loss , how he'd lost his chance of really loving her,
if only , he hadn't ignored her , if only he'd let himself love her , a tear ran down his cheek as his voice said ' you killed her ' He now wishes he'd realized what she means to him , before she died , to him , because he never knew he loved her ..
' I never knew that i was in love , and when i knew , it was too late .. I'm so sorry , I love you ' He said....
