He was my best friend for life

Always there when I needed him.

He believed in me, like no other,

I believed he could change my world.

After he got his life straight,

I looked up to him, like the older brother I never had,

Loved him like a brother.

But deep inside I knew I loved him more than that,

I wanted him to be with me,

I knew that deep inside he felt the same.

But as we grew up, we grew apart.

I told myself best friends for life, yeah right.

As we grew apart, I tried,

I tried hard to forget him.

As hard as I tried, I couldn't do it.

When I needed him the most, he was there,

The growing apart didn't matter at that moment.

He started to come around more,

Was in my sons life as a father figure.

He asked me to marry him,

I said yes everything was in play.

I would finally get my fairy tale ending.

But he had to go away, he broke my heart.

Girls calling, telling me, he didn't want me.

I didn't know who to believe,

Him or the girls, confused.

I had let him back in, set myself up to get hurt again,

I did the only thing I knew I could do, cry.

I packed up and moved away, to start a new.

Delete him from my life.

Finally, I broke down, talked to him, let him back in,

I figured that if he was always there before,

He will be there again, but for good.

I realized I am too in love with him to let him go just yet.

So maybe after all my hurt, pain, and tears,

I will get my fairy tale ending.
