Nursing a Memory

I took care of him for you
Though I couldn't mend the hole in his heart
Though I couldn't release him from regret
Though I couldn't banish his sense of loss
I made sure he wasn't lonely
Though he still cried every night
Though he whispered your name in his sleep
Though he thought of you, even as he kissed me
I tried to make him happy
Though I couldn't stop the pain
Though I couldn't keep him from wanting you
Though happiness was beyond him
I hope he loved me just a little bit.
Though he was yours from the start
Though he's still yours today
Though he'll be yours forever
I hope you'll thank me.
