When you told me

At first I was fine
Then you told me what you thought
I got very quiet
You started to wonder why
Now I'm not sure how to talk
Your asking me what I'm thinking
I would have told you before,
But when you told me...
I should have guessed,
when you mentioned her first
This always seems to happen
When I meet someone I think I can be with
They always seem to like someone else
I will understand it
But why is it always me?
If thats the way it has to be
I'll be patient
I could wait, or I could move on
I'll wait if thats what you want
And I'll move on if thats what you need
I hope you want me to wait, but if not then I'll move on
It's so weird, when I first met you
Your exactly like some other guy
He tells me he has feelings for me
But then he tells me that he liked someone different
Someone other than I
He told me that he loved her, that he couldn't move on
He told me thats the only girl he'll think of
I was hurt
I was mad
I was confused
I was angry
And I wanted to cry.
But I understood, and I moved on
It seems like the same with you
But you respect me enought to tell me first
I respect you for that
That is why...
Why I was quiet
Why I didn't talk
Why I didn't make eye contact,or even start conversation
When you told me.... all those emotions came back
I didn't know what to do
I hope this fills your curiosity
of what I was thinking that day.
