All I wanted was true love
All I wanted was you
You made it clear we could no longer be
But what about my love for you
Isn't that worth far more than change
Working late to pay the bills
Every step pushing us father apart
I can't change the way I feel
Cause...
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
What happened to us
What happened to you
When your goals came true
My nightmares came through
Burning through my vision
I see the world but I never see you
Not anymore
Cause you don't have time to spend
The time you spend away is now your trend
I never wanted this
I never expeced to
To end up alone with a bed full of tears
Cause...
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was true love
We promised our love together
I promise I'd never lie
But your lies killed our love forever
I forgave seven times seventy
Thought God was just testing me
Cause you kept pressuring me
To be more like those you met at work
Just to hear this will never work
I never wanted this
I never expected to
To end up alone with a bed full of tears
Cause...
All I wanted was you
Please give me one more chance
I will do whatever you ask
Whatever task that you have
Just come back to me
No one can do me the way that you do

Painful
This is a painful read- I've been there, years ago. I would wholeheartedly suggest a book to you. It's called "Love must be Tough" by James Dobson, and it details how to handle this situation.

For anyone to beg for love, when all seems to have finalized towards the end. Then the other person has moved on! Sorry to say it like that, but we have all been through this. Groveling for love, at that point is sad. A person neeed never to do this, but we do. Hard to see a bigger picture of what lies ahead, and maybe even true love around the corner. So we hold onto what is!
Sorry my friend you are going through this, I did recently too. Sucks...

Oh. This is such a sad little poem that you have going on here.
I read your author notes and it doesn't seem to be about anything recent that's going on in your life. So that's good anyways. Yeah I agree that life and love can be hard on you, even if your a guy or a girl. It goes both ways. I thought you did a good job of expressing yourself here.
