It Was You All Along...

I never wanted to hate you,
Love was always on my mind.
I hate it when I think of what I lost,
Of how much of you was a waste of time.

I loved you too the very depth
Of who I was and who I stood for;
I gave you every bit of me,
And now I believe love is just a lore.

I wanted to find a happiness,
I needed someone to crave me.
Too many times I've watched people
Die from love that let them be.

Did I love too hard?
Was is the tenderness I chose to show?
Maybe your love for me
Had finally begun to grow?

Men play the game,
Women know the rules.
What I didn't kow
Was that I was being used.
