I’ll never let anyone take away my ability to love, but I will take the lesson that life and love are things that can’t be rushed.

My biggest mistake was in always trying to please you.
I never thought about if I was happy as well.
I never enjoyed your smile, your touch, or your voice.
I was always planining the next move of the sell.

In a way I was caged up in my own cell.
I had a beautiful woman right next to me.
But clouded by my ego, and pride.
It was just something too hard to see.

I should of never expected it to last forever.
I should of enjoyed those moments while they were there.
If I had i to do over again.
I would of handled the situation with much more care.

But now I gotta make a new start,
And accept you as the lesson you were meant to be.
I’m going to take my time, and enjoy my life.
There’s nothing wrong with taking things slowly.

Especially in the affairs of the heart.
Cause anything worth having is worth waiting for.
So instead of closing my heart up tight and being scared.
Like i said before, I’m always gonna leave open that door.

    Very nice. A nice ‘message’ too. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and words. Love IS grand, but it will come and come true in it’s own time. It’s good to realize what we have but tough when it’s not until it’s gone. A touching write. I thank you.
