For you, my love, I'd gladly die for you I've shed some tears for you have often crossed my mind throughout these many years In my thoughts I've found myself inside your warm embrace but in my heart I know a truth that's difficult to face There is a man out there, somewhere your paths shall surely cross he'll be the one that wins your heart for me a painful loss Your loveliness is far too great for such a one as I for I'm too lowly and rough hewn to ever catch your eye And so, I know that you're not mine and that you'll never be for to another man you'll go another man than me For it has been my lot in life a truth I've often reckoned that when it comes to finding love I've always come in second So when the time comes that you find your true love at long last in haste I shall retreat into the safety of your past © Mike Wise 5/29/14

Nice poem........it must be hard to accept..that you're just not "the one"...but alas if that were to happen to me..I'd dry my tears,pick myself up.......then move on......ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Oh, I have moved on. As I wrote "I retreated into the safety of her past". Thanx Frank!
