Was It Wrong To Love You

This was written for someone whom I fell deeply in love with…
I love you more then words can ever tell...
You made me feel like an angel,
Like no other ever has made me feel.
I opened my heart to you...
Gave you my love...trusted you...
I gave myself knowing you had another.
But, you came to me with words of love and desire...
You told me you loved me...
We talked of faraway dreams.
I tried not to feel this way for you...
I fought with my every being not to love you.
Told myself it would never work...
That she loved you too...
And how could i come between her.
She is my friend...
And I betrayed her ...
As well as myself and you.
By that I mean by letting us go where
We should have never let ourselves go.
Wishes upon a star that you were here with me..
Dreams of you and I....magical they were.
I closed my eyes and you were there.
When I woke in the morning...
You were my first thought.
Our long conversations, late night flirts.
Smiles you gave me with all your kind words.
The laughter I endured with you...
The passion within you....
It was soo easy to fall in love with you.
But tonight the question came...
How do I tell her I don’t love her anymore??
How do I tell her I want to be with you??
I felt like a knife had cut through my heart...
Because this is where the pain started.
I knew it was wrong to be loving you...
I knew that it would always be her and you.
I can’t hurt her for she is my friend...
I will step back and take the fall..
So she can have you all.
I love you so much...
This is tearing me apart..
You are the only one that has truly touched my heart.
But I never should of let it come this far.
I didn’t want to say goodbye...
The tears I have cried...
I feel like my world has come down around me...
I know you are hurting too..
For I know in your heart, you love me too.
And this was hurting you so bad,
For you do love her too.
I couldn’t let you choose...
And I couldn’t hurt her...
I will suffer myself first...
My love will always be strong and true ...
I would do anything for you.
And that met giving up...
And walking away.
You will always have a special place in my heart
I will always love you.
