Not Just Another

From the start we were doomed
Yet I carried forth anyway
Do I regret my choices; never
For if I did, I would not be who I am today
I have changed
Perhaps for the better,
Perhaps for the worse
However this change has pulled us apart
From the start we were doomed
Yet I carried forth anyway

What was to only be one night
Proceeded to become a lifetime
A lifetime filled with joy
A lifetime filled with tears
A lifetime filled with experiences
Both new and familiar feelings
Living them all for the first time with you
You were the best I ever had
And yet I never really had you at all
From the start we were doomed
Yet I carried forth anyway

There has always been something
Something to believe in
I was tempted by your flame
And captured by your light
You treated with me dignity
You treated me with respect
My distance has never been of fear
My heart simply demands my space
You may never forgive what I’ve done
Nor will I hold it against you
Listening to my heart
You will never be forgotten
From the start we were doomed
Yet I carried forth anyway

The whispers of fate will gentle flow by
And taunt my every thought
They whisper ‘what if’ as they bring me close
The echoes fade, and the whispers let go
What time will tell has yet to be heard
I just want you to know
You weren’t just another girl.
