Moving On

One short day
While we were young
I told a boy
I was in love
A love that left
And died with time
Because his heart
Was never mine
I think that was
The biggest lie
And as he said
Those simple words
I felt my heart just break
The boy, who said
I was his world
Was just a big mistake
I put my heart
On lock and key
To defend from other boys
I used that as a little shield
And used men just as toys
I met a boy
And held his heart
But never gave him mine
Then I met you
And in you flew
To my unhappy mind
I thought,
"Hey I could love again"
But you wanted much less
And though I thought
That I was strong
I felt you could be next
I have a choice
That I must make
To love or walk away
And if I choose
To fight for you
I hope that I don't pay
When I knew him
I never sang
I never wrote
Or thought
When I knew him
I didn't know
What emotions could be wrought
And now, though I don't have you close
I dream of love again
I sing
I write
I dance all night
Until the morn begins
And even if we're never near
I know that I won't fear
Now I've moved on
And I'll be strong
Because I've let one in.
