Better Than Nothing - in memory of my first love.
by Tina Britt
We sit together for the last time,
thinking about when we're going to meet again.
It's been such a great time,
the fun we had in our short time together.
The laughs and cries, our ups and downs.
It's now just a small piece of my memory.
Now you're gone, I still feel you near,
guiding me through my troubled times.
You speak to me, you say you're still here,
you're still looking after me, I'll never be on my own.
I want to believe you, I want to speak back to you.
I can't, you're too far away, too far gone.
Do you realise how much I miss you? How much I care?
I think you do, I think you guessed.
You helped me through the roughest times of my life,
and I thank you for that. I will never forget you.
A shoulder to cry on, arms wide open,
to hold me and smother me in love. i will always remember.
We were together for so long, no one knew.
The thrill was just amazing, the biggest secret, the best.
The times we spent together and no one blinked an eye.
How did we survive?
The wedding was the best. We were caught, yet no one said a thing.
They still haven't.
That day made me realise how special you were to me, you still are.
Seeing you, you were so beautiful,
I just wanted to hug and kiss you in front of everyone.
I was not ashamed of what I felt,
I didn't care about anyone else,
I just wanted to be with you forever.
You left me, for 'her' I forgive you, honestly I do.
I have never stopped loving you, I never will.
You were happy with 'her', I suppose that's all that matters.
You did not know what she was doing to you.
It was too late before you realised.
She controlled you, treated you like a child.
You did not deserve that.
Now you have gone, I have lost a part of me,
a huge chunk of my self-esteem.
I know you are looking down on me, you will never leave my side.
I want you with me through everything,
through more laughs and cries, through more ups and downs.
Guide me through everything, like you once did.
It won't be the same, but it will be better than nothing.
