I Know I Can'T Have You Poem by SarahLaney Long

Everything was simple
Everything was fine
I knew I couldn't have you
And I knew why.

I tried to move on
I liked other guys
But then we'd hang out
And I knew, to myself I lied.

You noticed me drifting
You said 'please explain'
But, I didn't want to loose you
So, I tried to deal with the pain.

It's hard to be with you
It gets harder each day
When I look in your eyes
I feel my body floating away.

I miss the way it used to be
You don't feel the change?
You don't know I really love you
I'm sure to you, it's just a game.

As I close my eyes tonight
I'll pray as I was taught to do
I'll pry that you realize that
I love you, but I can't have you.
