Three became two, two became one.

Her life was changing with no room for me in tow.

She broke my heart and left me nowhere to go.

Lost like a puppy who had run away from home.

You tried to mend me piece by piece.

But my wandering eye was a force to be beat.

A new prospect snuck in undetected one day.

A few weeks later she planned to sweep me away.

One month later the ticket was booked.

A weekend with her was a thrill to be took.

She pulled me in like a moth to the light.

I broke the news and you were shook.

The past was repeating like a page in a book.

You tried your best to sway me your way.

Showing your love to try and keep me at bay.

But I was determined and turned the other way.

The day before lift off I got the news.

You had been rushed to the hospital with no obvious clues.

I wanted so bad to come your way.

To say I was sorry, and that I loved you more than words could say.

But certain circumstances between us demand that I stay.

I flew to OKC with you on my mind.

Relieved to have you contact me from that hospital staff line.

My mind was heavy when the plane touched down.

The alcohol flowed smoothly to keep my sadness away.

She stole my innocence from high on the shelf.

The one thing I had saved in hopes of giving to you myself.

You were right and I was wrong.

Hasty decisions leave one feeling not quite as strong.

The thrill of the chase was what I thought I would gain.

But all I feel is a whole lot of shame.

She took from me the last piece of my youth.

The one thing I was told to save for as long as I could.

To give as a gift when the right one came along.

A show of love as deep as a sappy country song.

I know I have hurt you in so many ways.

Left you feeling betrayed and wondering why you stay.

I hope this time I have learned to be patient with you.

To love what we have even if we can not be true.

The only one I want to love in this life turns out to be you!
