I thought I found the perfect guy,
one that knew how to treat me right.
But I forgot to hold on,
and now he's gone.
I should have pushed harder for it to work,
but I didn't and now I'm hurt.
I can't remove his picture from my mind
I think about him all the time.
He meant everything to me,
and now we can't be.
I ruined it all,
I say as I slowly fall.
I miss the way it was with him,
and now the light's starting to dim.
Everything inside is dead.
I can't get him out of my head.
I need him to survive.
He makes me feel so alive.
He has my everything,
and without him it's just not the same.
When he told me good-bye,
all I could think of is why.
I hate having to act like it's all right,
especially when all I do is cry at night.
I hate dwelling on my past
and sitting here wondering why it didn't last.
I wish I could be with him right now
I should get over him, but I can't learn how.
I think about how it used to be and I smile.
I hoped he planed on staying a while,
but he left me alone and helpless,
and he knows it's him I will miss.

I’m sorry about what happened. That is so messed up what he did to you. I was in almost the same situation, but what happened to me was that my sister would always try to take away my boyfriends when I was younger. She’s younger than me, and she took my first boyfriend. I was 16 years old and he was 17. She was talking dirty to him, and he fell. I heard him telling her to say that I love you, and she did again. When I was in my 20s, she would shake or bend over in front of my boyfriends. Right now, I have a new boyfriend, and we’ve been together for 8 months now, and I told him about my sister and what she had done to me all my life. He would tell her that he has a beautiful woman right now and not to come close to him.
