Try to put yourself in my place, try it now
Then you'll realize, I can't stop loving you, hard as I've try
Now, you say, my tears anger you when I cry
Try to remember, I've always loved you as I do now
Try to put yourself in my place, try it now
When you tell me to forget about you, please tell me how
Try to put yourself in my place, for just one hour
Try to realize, how much I love you, I just can't stop now
And now, you beg of me to forget you
because you've met, you've met someone new
And you tell me, that your love for her
is much stronger than the love we once knew
Try to put yourself in my place, try it now
Do you think, I 'll forget about you, with a blink of an eye?
You stand before me, and you say, don't cry, be strong!
Could be I'm hurting because I've loved you, much too long
You surprised me with the news to end things now
Need more time to contemplate, just what went wrong
I need time, a little more time, I'm not that strong
I have loved you, much too long, I'm not that strong
But, if you insist, you don't want me anymore
I guess I'll say goodbye, I'll hold my head up high
As you walk out that door. Don't look back, just go!

Post a CommentHi Alyce, no it's not expressing new pain. Actually, it's from a play I was working on. I never finished it but I kept all the songs from that play. Thanks for your concern and comment. Thanks to everyone else for your comments.
Hope this is a poem from yesteryear's memories and not expressing any new pain for you!
I hear a song in there too! (concurring with Elena H.)
Very moving poem!
Wonderful. No one can bring you down but yourself and if you belive in yourself even that won't cappen. As my father used to say, "Can't never did do anything" You go girl
