Lessons Learned
One good look was all it took
 My heart melted like butter
 He could read me like a book
 And his presence was enough to make me stutter
 I thought we would just be friends and nothing more
 Until he told me that I was the one he adored
 
 I'd had others, but none like him
 Part of me wanted to believe I was in love
 The other part knew I wasn't
 My heart said yes, but my head said no
 I ignored my head and listened to my heart
 A decision that maybe wasn't too smart
 We were happy until things changed
 Everything was rearranged
 Nothing would ever be the same
 And out the truth came
 
 We were living a life laced with lies
 All leading up to the bitter goodbyes
 
 If he couldn't be with me at my worst, then he didn't deserve me at my best
 He needed to have put me first
 He miserably failed my test
 I knew for a while this moment would come
 So I wasn't the least bit surprised
 I was even a bit relieved
 But the tears still fell from my eyes
 Acid droplets burning holes in my cheeks
 
 He left me with a broken heart
 Snap! Every piece pulled apart
 
 As time went by I forgave and forgot
 I have no regrets
 It wasn't too much sadness that he brought
 Every disappointment only makes me stronger
