You beautiful thing, I could have been your Boo Radley
Forever.

I could have handled that, loving you from afar,
Taking care of you,
Giving you gifts with sincere love,
and being Sincerely Happy
as I watched you appreciate them.

I could have watched you grow,
and loved every moment;
shared in your happiness,
and suffered through the pains of life
with you.

I could have been that,
helping quietly,
loving silently
and
forever.

But I’m too damn stupid for that,
and too loud.

So I ruined it all, and tried to love you like
someone else could,
only I knew deep down in my heart,
Someone Else could do it better.

It doesn’t seem like a gift right now,
This broken heart I’m giving you,

But please Trust me
one last time,
And believe that I do it out of
Love.

I wish I could have given you Forever
Instead,
But this is all I have.

Out of all the gifts I wanted to give you,
I never ever thought hurt would be one of them.

I should have saved the receipt.
