A Poem Of No Significance

author unknown

I'd like to say a few words to you.

Please listen for a while.

It concerns the man I love,

The one who made me smile.

He loved me once not long ago,

But that was just before

Since you came into his life,

He didn't love me anymore.

At once I saw the change in him,

And when I found out why

I realized the time has come

For me to say goodbye.

He told me that friends we'd stay,

Best friends we could be.

And though I agree to what he'd said,

I knew his best friend could never be me.

I could not bear to be just friends with him.

Each day would tear me apart,

Each passing minute that we'd talk

Would end up breaking my heart.

But with him, I try to hide the pain.

Try though that I might,

I cannot stop the tears

From falling as i write.

And if you ask me if I love him still,

I'll answer "yes i do,"

Yet it doesn't really matter now

Since it's not me he loves but you.

So to you I bring this message:

Take care of him for me,

Guide him and please cherish him

For all eternity.

And don't tell him that I wrote this,

That I still love him so,

Don't tell him my heart is aching.

Please, I don't ever want him to know.

Do me one more favor,

Love him tenderly.

Please hold him close and kiss him

One last time for me.
