How foolish I was to let you go?
How could I just let you slip away?
How could I just let the relationship fail on its own?
You loved me, you had cared for me
But I was selfish and cold-hearted enough to betray you
I had let another man take your place
I had put myself and my own needs first before you
You were there to stick around when I was only there to play around
I am sorry that I hurt you
I am sorry that I had lost you
You were the greatest man of my life and I let you walk away
It is not fair to you
I hope someday you will forgive me and give it another try
I'll never stop loving you, ever

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
