I've stopped dreaming
of future fantasies.
For when I left you
they weren't realities.
My dreams of us together
were blown out of the sky
when I came to realize
you still loved your x-wife.
I left in a searing pain
that only time can ease
and turn to understanding
for you to be at peace.
I know that if I marry
I can't take second place
For if I can't be first
Then it's just a waste.
