What I Thought I Needed Poem by Ray Hansell

My heart started crying
Because you have gone
It will be hard I know
But I must carry on

All the years we shared
Have passed by like blur
I want so much to have you back
So things can be the way they were

In my heart that’s what I want
But in reality I know
That you’ll never return to me
Because of the faithfulness I didn’t show

There are times I should have said
How much I love you so
I didn’t say those words
That why now, I feel so low

I know that it’s my fault
No one else is to blame
What we started long ago
Will never again be the same

So maybe it’s a good thing
For us to say goodbye
Maybe I do deserve
To be left here to cry

My heart started crying
But I’m the one who cheated
I thought that somewhere else
I would what I thought I needed
