Never Given The Chance Poem by RACHEL ZARANTONELLO

So often people say they found true love in their friend
I just have to wonder if it's just a means to fit the end
I thought I knew you for so long, but now I've come to see
That you are a stranger, and you never really loved me
Always I adored you, we had something special to always keep
You'd treasure me both heart & soul, and hold me in my sleep
When I had you, I felt, at last, my search was finally concluded
How was I to know, that I would be so deluded?
As we grew together, something still kept us apart
I have your body and your mind, but I'll never have your heart
I still wish that we could've shared that lifetime forever
But reality stole my Happy Ending, leaving me with NEVER
If you asked, what would I say?
Would I dare to throw it all away?
Would yes even be right? Or is it NO?
But we never ask, so, on we go
Still I know that in the end
You never loved me, my friend
This is the truth that kills me inside
I'd give you the world, all the tears I cried
I never had a chance.
