Because Of Me Poem by Ray Hansell

Your flowered pattered dress
Your long flowing hair
It wasn't that long ago
That for you I really cared

But back than things were complicated
So much was going on
And, if you've been wondering
My heart is sad now that you're gone

I know when we were together
I never told you what was in my heart
I'm feeling now that if I had
We never would have had to part

If only once in a while I said, I love you
Maybe today we'd still be together
But I've adjusted to life without you
I feel each day life gets a little better

It doesn't mean I don't think of you
Because I do so every day
Maybe in my heart I'm wishing
Together, we had found a way

But I know that us together
Is a place we'll never see
Looking back I can honestly say
We failed as a couple because of me
