A LESSON FROM THE PAST

I WANTED YOUR FRIENDSHIP
BUT YOU CHOSE TO BEFRIEND OTHERS.
I WANTED YOUR COMPASSION
BUT YOU CHOSE NOT TO NOTICE MY DESPAIR
I WANTED YOUR RESPECT
BUT YOU CHOSE TO HUMILIATE ME
I WANTED YOUR TENDER TOUCH
BUT YOU CHOSE TO BEAT ME
I WANTED YOUR PRESENCE
BUT YOU CHOSE THE COMPANY OF OTHERS
I WANTED YOU TO LISTEN TO ME
BUT YOU CHOSE TO HEAR WHAT YOU WANTED TO
I WANTED YOUR UNDERSTANDING
BUT YOU CHOSE TO DELIBERATELY MISUNDERSTAND ME
I WANTED YOU TO TAKE CARE OF ME
BUT YOU CHOSE TO IGNORE MY NEEDS
I WANTED YOU TO SHARE MY GRIEF
BUT YOU CHOSE TO LET ME SUFFER ALONE
I WANTED YOUR LOVE
BUT YOU CHOSE TO LOVE YOURSELF A BIT TOO MUCH
I WANTED YOU TO MAKE ME HAPPY
BUT YOU CHOSE TO MAKE ME SAD

THIS IS NONE OF YOUR FAULT, THOUGH.
WE ARE ONLY HUMAN AND WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
I MADE MY CHOICES AND HAS TO LIVE WITH IT.
IN THE MEANTIME, LIFE GOES ON.
