Fateful Day

     I look outside my window 
     Listening to the birds 
     Sweet song filling the air 
     Yet I can�t seem to find the words 

     My heart has been weeping 
     Since I told my friend 
     That he has been far more that that 
     But now it�s too late to amend 

     He told me in return 
     That he doesn�t feel the same 
     That he likes someone else 
     But he won�t reveal the name 

     Inside I�ve always known 
     This would be the case 
     So I try not to sound hurt 
     Attempting to keep a straight face 

     I know that I�m hardly lovely 
     And not even remotely smart 
     My talents are few and small 
     All of which tugs at my heart 

     If only he hadn�t asked me 
     Collecting that small debt 
     He wouldn�t ever have known 
     And I wouldn�t have to fret 

     I wish I could simply fade away 
     Running away from everything 
     For it hurts to know he knows 
     Though to the hope I still do cling 

     Yet, he even asked her out 
     And she has, in turn, agreed 
     The date is truly set 
     I just wish I�d taken heed 

     I wish it had never happened 
     That truly fateful day 
     But now it�s far, far too late 
     And I can only bow my head and pray
