He stood taller than me
Although being petite most do
When with him id look in his eyes
And what was there tricked me too

His hands were larger
And his face was soft to feel
To see me smile would light him
Well that fire I could not steal

His want was not his need
And unknowingly he bled
His heart was turning in its cage
Though you couldnt tell from what he said

He would hold me close
As I dreamed him in my heart
His perfection was breathtaking
And I didnt think we'd part

Tighter if i mumbled
And longer if I cried
And I can say he never loved me
But I cant say he never tried

He was there at the end of the line
Should I need to hear his voice
But his comfort would cause torture
He alone made that choice

He took it upon himself
To state a change of mind
To stay with me to keep me strong
To him would be unkind

How my heart did break
As he shakingly held my hand
And how I lost my breath for eternity
As I could not understand

I loved him in my way
But never more than then
Sitting not a metre away
The pinnacle of all men

I lay down then in familiarity
For my head and heart did spin
He reached out to touch me in care
But it felt more like a sin

He continued to be my knight
And I wanted to hate him instead
The tears began to start
As my emotions battled my head

I asked an honest question
The answer pierced me to the core
Every question I asked I remember
But nothing compared to what he swore

Trembling I stood alone
As I was hurting more than i could bear
I slowly walked from his house
Left the love i had known there

He stood at the door as I left
And watched me cross the street
A car nearly knocked me down
As I muddled up my feet

And I didnt look back at him
But I know he watched me go
I turned the corner and just broke down
Though that he'll never know

And I wandered through the streets
With a friend against my ear
The trauma blinded my need to go on
And I fell throughout my fear

I crossed a bridge that day
Tears cascading in every vein
People stopped and called to me
They could see all of my pain

It rained from my pores that day
I dont know how I reached the end
I walked aimlessly about my town
Until my feet dragged me to a best friend

Her face fell at the sight of me
As I crumpled to her lap
She listened attentively
Then told me it was a bunch of crap

I guess it was thinking back
But i know it made me strong
The downside is im scared to fall again
Incase I get it wrong

Everyone saw me cry that day
And they'd seen my happy state
No one understood why, not even him
But this was my destined fate

And i do miss him sometimes
But no more than others ive lost
And to relive those memories endlessly
Well my heart was worth the cost

Im trust that im stronger
No more in love with something not for me
The ones I want now...
Well id like for them to see

Dont get me wrong for Im happy
The tears dont fall no more
And ive healed and learned from everything
Although nostalgia makes me sore

But im ready to take someone elses hand
If they offered it for nought
Id give my heart for them to keep
From the fall i beg to be caught
