Can Never Hate Him For It
By Jean Roy

I thought all the lies he told me
Were true
So I spent my time here
Waiting for him to do what he had to do

I thought this time around
Things would have been different
I tried to make sense of why the wait was so long
Even though I knew it didn’t

I tried to justify
In my heart and mind
That if I kept holding on
The outcome would end up fine

And although that desire
Stayed stuck a while inside my head
I sadly knew
The opposite result that was up ahead

I loved him
With every ounce of passion inside my heart
If only he could of understood
My intentions were good from the start

Doubts filled his mind
And left his heart frail
All that I was building on
Ended in the effort for love to prevail

I once thought
There was no me without him
And that no matter what I did
I couldn’t forget about him

Trapped in my memory
Are future goals I was planning to achieve
I just wanted to him
To truly believe

I saw this
As a blessing
If only I had the power to clear his doubts
And end his guessing

If only he knew
What it was to be in love
And know the real
Meaning of

What it truly means
To have a relationship
Not something dealing with
Heart ownership

But he was too scared of love
And ended something so profound
I had high hopes for us
And sadly he let me down

And even though it ended
I cannot help
Knowing that I was so foolish in having hope
It hurts admitting it to myself

And no matter how hard
I try to ignore it
I’ll always love him because despite breaking my heart
I still can never hate him for it
