Nearly Mine
It took only one moment,
 frozen in time,
 for me to feel 
 like he would be mine. 
 
 Days went by 
 and we grew close.
 He was a drug;
 a near lethal dose.
 
 We soon fell in love.
 It didn’t take time. 
 I could feel in my heart
 that he would be mine. 
 
 But I’d started to change.
 Not much of it was good.
 Seems everyone saw something
 that I never could.
 
 Yet I accepted the “sorry”s
 and I forgave,
 but I was dull to expect
 that he would behave. 
 
 I slowly began
 to see his design.
 I thought he would change. 
 I thought he was mine. 
 
 But he kissed someone else;
 her name started with T.
 He still tried to lie
 as I tried to leave. 
 
 He says he feels bad,
 but I’ve almost moved on. 
 He’s not the person 
 my mood relies on.
 
 He’s messed up and hurt.
 I’m doing just fine. 
 Now I’ve left, and I see:
 he seems stuck as mine.
