We met too late

We met late, too late. By then you wore the scars of failed love and fear of loving kept knocking at your heart.
We were not meant to be and it happened, we drifted apart.

It’s hard to let go because I love you. I know you were never mine but all the same my heart broke when we said goodbye.

There was no battle I could fight, no enemy to bring to its knees. Nothing I could do because you couldn’t love me.

When we parted, I smiled at you because I wanted you to take that smile with you.
My last smile for a long time.

I tried to give you my heart but you refused to take it and now my soul misses the little pieces of you.
