Her Gift

I don’t know why I hoped

I had resigned myself

That gift I always wished for

Once again for someone else

I don’t know why I hoped

Could it be for me

Could it be mine

But no right now it’s hers

I can’t have it

I don’t know why I hoped

So I make myself understand

I have to feign

I don’t want it

I have to affect

I’m happier without it

I don’t know why I hoped

My heart breaks once again
