Traits you swore I never had
All your worst fears I made true
I do not know why I cried myself to sleep
When all I wanted was to cry with you
Your presence broke sorrows grip on me
I was grateful you were there
But all that came out was full of angst
And I railed at you instead
Perseverence was never tried on me
Flattery certainly took you nowhere
If only had you known
How hard it was for me to not care
Older I was hence wiser I ought to be
And all those cliches overused
When death took away from me something precious
I thought I had nothing left to lose
How foolish I was to not know
To not feel and to not see
I had never ever asked for this
So no wonder it was just meant to be
Trust was there but I never said
Regrets I never divulged
Care I did but I failed to tell you
Truth is that I fudged
Maybe I had gone wrong somewhere
With all those things I never said
Forgiveness would come handy
But love will do just as well...
Author notes
Well, what can I say I wrote this quite a long time ago ... Great now I feel nostalgic!!
About the poem, it should be pretty obvious what it is about and yes, it sounds like a bubblegum romance because it was that sort of a life at that sort of a time, so there you have it!

I know I lost my chance, and you dont want me anymore, but if I dont have you to love, then what else is my heart for?
