When I look back now, I wonder about things.
Why did I stay with her if it was never meant to be?
It seems kind of pointless now that I look at it.
She didn't want me, nor did the fates see fit that
we remained bonded forever. She loved me. I could
see it in her deep eyes. The passion that shone from
those pools of light, it was like none I had ever seen
before, and I doubt I will ever see again. I loved
her…more than anything, but she wasn't meant for
me. I was only keeping her for you.
I didn't see it coming, or maybe I just didn't
want to. Those very same eyes that hypnotized my
with their rhythmic pulse, had a darkness that was
blocked off from me. It was meant for you. I felt
safe in her arms and I believe that she felt safe in
mine. She was always there, through the rough nights
and days after. She healed my wounds with her gentle
kisses and I healed her emotional torment with my
love, but I was only keeping her for you.
The night you came and stole her will be embedded
in my mind forever. The way she looked at you…the look
that was meant for me and only me. I saw it then, but it
was for you, and I would never see it again. She gave it
away, to someone else. That night that she walked into
the darkness with you was the night that my will to live
left me. I realize now, I was only keeping her for you.
I never saw her again, because that was the night,
I too left. The night I said good-bye to the one who loved
me. The real me…all of me…even the beast within, that
all too often reared its ugly head. How could she have
done this to me? How? She left me exposed…she ripped
my heart out with her hands that had, once before,
touched me and comforted me in a way no one had ever done.
That night I gave in to the better man and let her go
without a fight, because, it was then, that I truly believed
myself when I said…I was only keeping her for you.
