Why Change?

His smile glowed in the moonlight.

A silhouette of kindness 

enhanced by the buzz of the night.

He was everything I wasn't,

the can gleaming in his hand.

Perhaps that's what caught my sight.

Or the way his eyes danced through the dark

twinkling like stars,

making my heart take flight.

I want you and nothing but you he plead,

as I held back the tears with all my might.

His beer stained lips spoke he had danced with another at the bar.

My eyes shut tight. 

Please, I want to be in your life.

What do I say?

You clipped the string to my heart,

once soaring to the heights of a kite.

Do I stay or go?

You've changed me in ways I didn't know. 

The girl at the party would have left you instantly.

It seems this is the new me. 

I must go, I've loved him more than he has ever shown.

Why change for one not worth my time?

I suppose it's true,

love is blind.
