MY FORTUNE

Pamela Sanchez

I used to think I was fortunate

But I’ve seen your other side

Never pretended to care for the very less

Always heartless and reckless

If I knew I was going to be this attached

I would’ve let you pass by

So my heart would’ve not crumbled like sand

 

When I found you, my life brightened up

Every time I saw you my mind went blank

But happiness is about paying a price

And I thought you were worth every dime

Remember?

Our smiles during the spring

Remember?

The times we went out to eat?

Remember?

My feelings destroying our friendship?

Time changed

And I saw you far away

Time changed

And our happiness faded away

I don’t want to sound selfish

But I only wanted you for myself

And not for anyone else.

Your smile was the best

But my feelings died in the afternoon that day.
