It Breaks My Heart

For Monique  
 
Monique, it breaks my heart that I can’t have you.  
Baby, I think you’re the right woman for me.  
The good things I see in you draw me close to you.  
I wish you could understand what I’m going through.  
 
The feelings I thought you had for me don’t exist.  
You don’t care for me; you love someone else.  
I shouldn’t have let my feelings for you show.  
I don’t have what it takes to compete for your love.  
 
You can enjoy a long life with your young lover.  
I can’t possibly give you the love that you need.  
I don’t blame you for not wanting an affair with me.  
It really hurts to say goodbye to the one I love.  
 
I’ll just walk away hurt and lost in deep sadness.  
I’d give anything to see you run after me with open arms.  
But I guess I’ll just have to wake up from this dream.  
I must face the reality that it’s not going to happen.  
 
Baby, it breaks my heart to live without your love.  
It’d be a shame to see my love for you go to waste.  
It makes me want to cry when I think about it.  
I’ll always remember you even if you forget me.
