You say she is pretty, gorgeous in fact
and my face can not compare
nor my body compete with that
with those words
so I won’t try.
You say she is sweet and smart
and she makes you laugh.
Have I only held you back?
Have I only tied you down?
I am still faithful.
I am still loyal.
I am still honest.
My heart still beats for you,
only you.
Since I met you, I have never loved another.
But, how it aches to know that you have.
I remember that dress I wore
and all the times I painted my face for you.
Have I really changed all that much
from who I was before?
