For your eyes only

I use to lie there in yours arms,
Thinking I was safe and secure.
You use to whisper sweet nothings in my ear,
Now all that’s left is emptiness

You told me you loved me,
That I was the most beautiful girl you’d ever seen.
You told me I was different,
that you wanted us to take it slow.

Then one night you went out,
And kissed two other girls,
you tell me you still love me,
but this love can’t be pure, can it?

Did you use me for your foreplay?
For a piece to add to your collectors items?
Did you use me to make yourself feel better?
Prove that you could break a heart?

Getting over you was the hardest thing I ever had to do,
watch you kiss other girls,
and wish that it were you and me.
Together like we should have been

My friends told me to be careful,
I didn’t listen, my heart wouldn’t listen.
Somehow they were right,
But somehow they were wrong.

They were right that you broke my heart,
I’d cry so many nights because of you.
But they were wrong because you were my strength,
My anger, my tears, my love, my end of misery

You helped me understand that love has pain,
That I can be stronger without you,
That I will find the right guy for me,
And that I don’t envy you at all

I’m not going to be used by anyone,
No-one can take away who I really am.
You made me stronger and more willing,
I now have a heart that I can depend on.

I want to kiss you goodnight, for old times sake,
I want you to hold me till sunlight, till tomorrow appears.
I want you to love me as a friend forever,
But mostly I want you to know I don’t hate you for you helped me when you least expected it.
