It Wasn't A Lie

I am not quite sure of what to say,

But I have to think of something today.

I can't just put it off and hope you'll forget me,

I have to explain and let you hate me.

I never meant to hurt you the first time,

But somehow I knew you weren't meant to be mine.

Then we were reunited on that fateful day,

And once again, I felt that I should not stay.

In your life is not where I belong,

I apologize for your pain, but I know I am not wrong.

Though we have a great love for one another,

You must know as I do, we can never be together.

I have passed by many gifts in my time,

But you weren't my gift, you were never mine.

We both believed with true faith that we were meant to be,

But now as I examine it all I clearly see.

The troubles and distance that have been put in our way,

Are detours from God, showing us where we need to stay.

I believe with all my heart, soul, and mind,

That I am in the life God meant for me to find.

I can't express how hurt I am to think of your pain,

But it isn't fair to either of us to continue on just the same.

In this end, before I say one last good-bye,

I want to be sure you know that it wasn't a lie.

I have always loved you and I will forever,

That won't change simply because we're not meant to be together.
