Love to call my own
I knew from the beginning that you were just a flirt,
And yet I fell in love with you knowing I'd be hurt,
I thought that I could tie you down and make you love just one,
but how could I do something no one else has ever done,
I know you'll never love me and I'm trying not to cry,
For I must find the strength to kiss your lips goodbye,
And when you ask me again, you will find that I'm not here
I want a love to call my own not one I have to share,
So I will hide my broken heart behind this laughing face,
And though you think I never cared no one will take your place.

I wish I could've met this person, I feel like we have something in common. I feel the same way as she does in this poem, it is a good expression of love and sadness. I hope she has found a love of her own, and maybe I'll be able to do the same too.
