Taken for Granted 

It took me a while to grasp what really happened,
For both of us, who never thought we’d meet our end.
It was just a fine day when it all started,
And now, our goodbyes show how it ended.

I was wrong to listen to others before your voice,
I neglected your feelings, and you paid the price.
My words, like knives, slowly made you bleed,
But you chose to stay, saying I’m the only one you need.

After so many times I pushed you away,
You never left, you chose to stay.
Seeing you here, holding my hand,
I whispered to God, thankful I found this man.

You’re my escape, my safe haven, my little piece of joy,
The destined person who takes away every sorrow, every ploy.
But I can’t return to fix what I put you through,
With these faults, I know I don’t deserve someone like you.

If I say sorry, will things go back to what they used to be?
Can I still hear you say, “I love you” to me?
Will I still have a chance to fix what’s broken and start again?
Will we fall in love again, even if there’s nothing to gain?

Give me a chance to be better for you,
So I can repay the love you always gave too.
I’ll choose to be true to what I feel,
And let all my worries and insecurities seal.

My heart will be yours, and to hell with what others say,
We’ll come out stronger, no matter what challenges we face today.
It will be you and me, as we discover this journey together,
After seeing the reality, I’ll choose to be yours forever.

I’ll forever ask for a chance and your forgiveness,
No matter the ups and downs, I promise to be fearless.
To attain the love I’ve always truly wanted,
The same love that I’ve tragically taken for granted.
