Memories Part: II

I remember I had to leave,
and both of you had called.
Because of this the nights I cried,
twas my decision all along.

We talked quite late, I fell asleep
at about four in the morning.
I then awoke at some time later,
to the sound of both your mourning.

I remained in silence and listened close.
They cried because of me.
It was because of my departure.
Was this what was meant to be?

He asked me why I had to leave.
She pleaded I would stay.
He promised me, though a hard task,
out friendship would never sway.

No one had ever cried for me.
No one had shed a tear.
No one had cared so much for me.
This is what they feared.

Months had pasted, decisions changed.
My hope ha spread it's wings.
Because of this, it dawned on me.
This is indeed what H.O.P.E. brings.

The time had come for me to declare.
He was the last I'd tell.
I invited him over to my house, I said,
"The prior choice had fell."

He smiles a smile I'll never forget.
He picked me off my feet.
He cried those tears so filled with joy.
This moment, Oh so sweet.

I never knew that I,
had meant so much to you.
Never had I known,
One's love could be so true.
