A easy as breathing
Then my lungs filed with water.
You watched me struggled as I coughed
I fought to cough us up to get it all out

Then I stopped coughing, I got up and moved away.
You walked the other way, I did not follow.

Then you wondered why I didn't give chase.  
You should be chasing me dear and if you're not too bad...
I'm running far far away!

"Goodbye", he said quietly.

Just like that, she was a ghost.
And he had walked right through her.

Dear stranger,

     I led you on, up and down the emotional roller coaster.  You were my secret.  A wise girl kisses and doesn't tell.  I almost loved you but I had another lover.  Stranger, I am sorry I was wrong.  I look back and see your love would have been pure not tainted and twisted like his.  Stranger I truly miss you, we never slept together or had anything more than a friend ship.  But I see you with her and i envy her, I am jealous for all I lost but never had.

You used to have a special place,
A special place in me.

Now the only special place you have,
Is your misery.

Maybe it's a good thing you never liked my poetry,
Never bothered to really read the book beside our bed.
There is a whole page about you, a whole section of good things.  
Maybe that would have enlightened you to my feelings for you.
But I would never force you to stay.
So maybe it's better you left,
I may gain more.

Your loss will be my gain.
