I find myself in a no win situation, Why did I have to fall in love with you? You are married, you told me that, So, I cannot claim I never knew.
I thought we could keep it friendly, Just a few laughs and maybe a little flirting. I knew that this would all be innocent, After all, who were we hurting?
But somehow I began looking at you, Through completely different eyes. You were becoming much more than a friend, You were so different from all the other guys.
I am not sure of exactly when I knew, That you were my heart's desire. But I knew once I encouraged you, In the end, it would all backfire.
We began to explore our feelings, We threw caution to the wind. We began to find excuses to meet, Never thinking of how we had sinned.
I could never get my fill of you, You always hated to see me leave. When we were in each other's arms, We never thought about those we deceived.
But the day came, as we both knew it would, That you had to make the choice between us two. You told me you had 18 years with her, What else were you supposed to do?
You were supposed to love me, What was there for you to decide? You no longer loved her, you said, Or at least that was what you implied.
But now it is all clear to me, That I was just a diversion to you. How else you could have looked at me, And told me that we were through.
You are with your family now, And with the one who holds your heart. I am slowly dying each day, And slowly falling apart...
