My heart was broken when she said there was another.

Broken Heart

by HarryT

I was anxious on this Friday night. Had a date for dinner to celebrate Setting our spring marriage date I bounced up her front stairs Gave my usual three doorbell rings   She opened the door with tears in her eyes Said come on in, we need to talk Noticed my engagement ring was not On her finger, she thrust her hand forward Slowly unfolded her delicate fingers   My ring sat on the palm of her hand Little diamond sadly stared up at me She said, I wanted to tell you weeks ago I’m sorry but I’ve changed my mind I’ve met another and given my heart   Please understand I can’t marry you Stung in shock, I had nothing to say She said, please go, he’s on his way I climbed into my car, thinking I’ll show her, I’ll crash into a tree   Tears poured out as I drove home Spent three days in my mother's basement   Years later she called, said she made a mistake I said, sorry too late, I’m in love with another She came to my rescue after you deserted me   I now have a very loving, happy life But even today, my first love from Time to time will steal into my mind
