The One That Got Away

THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY

I am entrenched deep in sorrow
This state or place I am I wish no man to follow
For I have had and I have lost
And it is an experience I can forget not

The sparkle in her eyes, the playfulness in her voice
The sound of angels in her laugh that made falling not a choice
The smell of roses in her hair, the serene happiness in her smile
All these make me see her walking down the aisle
But the groom could never be me for afar away I stood
I stared for her beauty radiated all around the room
Hoping she'd turn and meet my gaze
But I shake myself awake from that foggy haze
Never having the mind to finish that scenario
The fault does not solely come from my professing to be a Lothario

Commitment and loyalty
Two words not found in my dictionary
But somehow I know that if the hands of the clock could move backward
I wouldn't change a thing probably because I feel she deserves better
Or just simply put I am a coward
I'd hate to see her sad or mad bcos I can't be stellar
Be unable to hold her and whisper sweet nothings in her ears just to see her countenance change

I don't trust myself to not hurt her
A war with myself I wage
A struggle to keep or steal her innocence and be worth her
But why reminisce all these
It is futile, it brings me grief
An ultimatum she gave and I could not ask her to stay
And so therein she became the one that got away
