Second Best

I feel like the world has changed

from black and white to beautiful

Vivid colors .

All because I found you.

I am falling for you she said

She was so beautiful

Hair as shiny as ebony

Her eyes so soft and sweet

So easy to be with

I thought

I feel we have but one heart

We share it for without sharing

We both would die.

I am in love with you

So much in love

She sighed

It is so comfortable with her

Everything is easy

never arguments                 

she is always supportive

She is so accepting of my faults

I thought

What made me give up my soul mate?

She was so right for me

So perfect.

Unable to show her my heart

As full with love as the ocean.

As sweet as the first sunny day of spring

Just to tell her these things

Just to say

I love you so much

why could I not say it?

I walked away

And only settled

for second best.
