• That one year thing
    That captured my heart
    That one year fling
    That broke me apart

    The start was so casual
    How was I to know
    He cannot hold it against me
    That my heart would swell so

    I confessed my love
    The moment I couldn’t ignore it
    He told me he did not feel the same
    That we did not share the same dream

    There was a moment
    We did not embrace
    This did not last
    Nor was this the last

    A few minutes I slipped
    Into his warm invitation
    My heart raced knowing
    He did this knowing how I felt

    But that night
    To my sadness
    He embraced another
    My heart needed to rest

    There was a moment
    We did not embrace
    This did not last
    Nor was this the last

    He looked at me
    With those sad eyes
    Asking me to be close with him
    Once again in his arms

    My heart fluttered
    Could it be true
    That maybe he feels
    The same way that I do?

    No he did not
    As he explained the next day
    But still asked
    If that night again we could play

    Our bond grew close
    Our lives drew close
    He became the closest person to me
    And I cherished our connection

    There came a time
    He begged me to betray a trusted friend
    To this I said never
    He decided our bond should be severed

    There was a moment
    We did not embrace
    This did not last
    Although this is the last

    During this time I was confused
    Wondering what he thought I had done to him
    He wouldn’t speak or give me a sign
    I decided I was wasting my time

    But still the night came
    When he showed up at my door
    Asking me to accept him
    Back again into my arms

    My mind was unsure
    My heart was wary
    He would tell me sweet things
    I wanted to take care of him

    I would tell him I did not want to be used
    I would tell him how I felt inside
    To this he would scoff
    He would persuade me to knock it off

    I told him it was time to stop
    I was done with his abuse
    He threatened me with darkness
    But it was no use

    He finally left my home
    I was ready for myself to grow
    I welcomed the change
    I just wish he felt the same

    Instead he paints me as his enemy
    A fool he turned out to be
    Yet this was a year of my life
    That cannot be given back to me
