you should of known

In a world where hearts twist and tangle, There's a tale of a love gone astray, She loved you true, but you let her go, Blinded by others who led you away. Her warmth, so pure, you once embraced, Yet it seems you never quite understood, She poured her love with each heartbeat, But you chose to chase what felt so good. In her eyes, the luster of devotion, She longed for your love to solely shine, But you were enthralled by another's flame, Ignoring her love, like a faded old rhyme. You spoke sweet words to those who caught your eye, Yet left her alone, her heart torn apart, She yearned for affection, to feel your touch, But you dashed her dreams, like an unwanted art. Time slipped by, like a river in haste, And sorrow grew like thorns in her heart, You never realized what you had, Until she vanished into the night's dark. Now she loves you from afar, But you'll never have her by your side, For love unrequited just leaves scars, And it's a wound that never truly subsides. So remember, as you chase illusions of love, The one who offered you a heart so sincere, She loved you so, and you should have known, That losing her was your greatest fear.
