One sure way to identify an honest writer: ask them if something (anything) they've ever written is finished. If they say yes, they're LYING!


How can I tell you such a thing?
I know it's wrong to let you think that....
But how can I do that to you?
How can I tell you, after all this time?
It's been so long, and everyone expects that we...
But I can't
I'm sorry
I don't want to hurt you,
But my heart won't let me avoid this anymore
It's not you, it's not your fault
But it isn't you
It's not your name I wake up thinking,
It's not you I'm dreaming of,
I never meant to lead you on,
I should have seen it sooner
I should have stopped this long ago,
Before you fell for me
I'm so sorry
I know they won't understand,
I'm not even sure if you will,
How I could love someone so deeply,
Who I've only seen once,
Only spoken to once,
And how can I leave you,
When I don't even know where to start looking,
To find the one who took my heart?
I don't know, but I do know,
That you aren't the one,
You aren't the one who laughs in my dreams,
Not the face I see when I wake in the night,
I'm so very sorry
I never meant for you to get hurt,
Not you
But I can't be silent any longer,
My heart aches inside my chest,
I can't think, only remember,
The one I met so very long ago
How can I tell you?...
How can I possibly tell you?...
How can I tell you I don't love you?
