I whispered my dreams to you, with hopes of fulfilling them with you,

And you made sure they never came true.

You were my cure, my shelter from life’s storm,

For my doubts, my sadness, and every insecure form.

But now I wonder, were our moments real?

The hugs, the kisses, the touch that once healed?

Or was I living in a dream, a fleeting high?

Perhaps to you, I was just a practice drill to try.

I loved the way you made me feel, till you left for him.

I understand, maybe I wasn’t handsome enough within.

But I promise you, my love was true and kind,

More than his, though you may not have been mine.

My friends say move on, let go of the pain,

But my heart clings to what could’ve been, the love in vain.

The memories linger, a bittersweet refrain,

A longing for what our love could’ve grown to sustain.

My life’s moving uphill now, though I don’t know how,

Finding strength in every step, somehow.

I’ll rise above the heartache, learn to love anew,

And though you’re gone, my dreams will still come true.
