Wrong Person, Right Time

13LaurenD

I was in the same position that you are now a little over three years ago,

But the only difference is is that I wasn't able to get myself to say no.

I put you in a situation where I feel like I am giving you false hope,

All because I couldn't figure out the way to tell you 'nope.'

I still keep going over the scenarios over and over again in my mind,

Because I know that someone like you is hard to find.

But maybe it is too early to tell, but I don't know if I will ever be able to say I love you,

And I don't know if there is anything else that you will be able to do.

Because you really are so kind, and so unbelievably sweet,

Because someone like you is so incredibly hard to meet.

But how can I give myself to you when I know I am still in live with him,

And every time I realize that, the light in me suddenly starts to go a little dim.

Because you are doing everything right, but I know that there is still something wrong with me,

But I don't know if a future with you is something that I can clearly see.

And I don't understand why it is so hard for me to let him go,

Even though you were the one to lift me back up when I was feeling low.

And I hate to admit it, because I know that he was the reason that I was upset in the first place,

And that you were the one to help pick me up when I fell from grace.

But maybe that was problem, it was just the wrong person saving me at the right time,

And that was why I felt like you were the person that I should have called mine.

But I don't know if I can say that it will be you and me in the end,

Because I know I will always love him, and I think I love you too, but really only like a friend.
