Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
I remember holding your hand
It was just yesterday
when I thought you were mine

I hadn't felt this way
in such a long time
for I feared that another
would break my heart again

But looking in your eyes
and feeling the warmth of your hand
I let down the walls
I built to protect my heart

I opened my heart to you
and brought back many feelings
that I have kept locked away
for such a long time

But then everything changed
in just one night
I guess you moved on
but this doesn't seem right

Don't you remember?
It was just yesterday
me and you were together
and everything was perfect

But looking more closely
I can see it now
its not me you wanted
it was her all along

How could you do this to me?
you had me hanging on a moment
and then you used me
like some meaningless object

It breaks me to realize
that I am so ignored, forgotten
completely neglected by you
because your heart lies with her

Seeing you with her
Hurts me more each time
I see the look you give to her
knowing it used to be mine

Why do I even try,
when you don't even care?
it's useless to go on
it just seems so unfair

Now I withdraw from you
and put these walls back up
for my heart is broken
and I don't know how much more it can take

As hard as it is
I will try to be your friend
but it will be so hard
watching you love someone else

And I will go on
pretending I'm ok
and you will never know
all the pain you've caused me.

Once upon a time
I watched you love someone else
and you never knew
how my heart silently cried....
