You could have told me earlier
that we weren’t meant to be
That your eyes glanced at Him once
and rested there forever
Your words were sharp and bitter
at the moment of my life I was beaten by anxiety
Your gaze was intent and worn
on the first proposal I have made
Maybe I shouldn’t have expected a romance be so easy
But at least you could have sent me on my way
with a low good-bye
I was struck only when you dangled your fingers before me
like two pairs of feet walking side by side
But what I initially took to be a trick of the eye
Stood an angry engagement ring
And so
I should have knew from the very beginning
that we weren’t meant to be
You may be the light of my life
a diamond so precious it cannot be sold
But to you
I was yet
Only another face in the crowd
How am I only finding this masterpiece right now.
