I wish I could say that we just met at the wrong time,
but that's just not the case;
Because the truth is, and we both know this;
We were never meant to be together.
I was never the one for you,
nor was I meant to be your lover.
Giving you flowers, and sending you gifts on occasion will never be my responsibility.
Nor was I made to hold your hand and hug you tight on cold rainy days.
Watching you make coffee and cook breakfast is something that I'll never see;
because I was never meant to wake up next to you,
nor were you meant to sleep next to me.
Helping you wash the dishes, and wash our clothes will never be my thing.
And I know I'll never get to hear you say to turn the lights off before I go to bed.
That's just how it is,
We are living on the same Earth but belong to two different realities.
I know it's sad,
but that's how things are always meant to be.
You were always meant to come home to tend to his heart and needs.
While I was meant to go back to the days before I got to know love and happiness from your lips.
