The Whitest Dove

By: candice temple

The one thing that scared me the most was love,
I told you my heart had to be cared for like the whitest dove.
You told me you would always love me and nevr leave my side,
Yet I looked next to me and you weren't there...I had to hide.

I was so scared those times we got in serious fights,
All I wanted to hear was, "Candice don't worry," as you held me tight.
I wanted to feel wanted by only you, the one I adored,
You never understood how much love in my heart was stored,

I remeber that time you cried when I said I was going to leave,
That touched my heart like you wouldn't believe.
I remember that time we almost broke up on Valentine's Day,
We ended up okay until you had to say....

When you said those words, "Candice this isn't working out,"
I felt my heart drop and the only thing I could do was pout.
In the back of my head I thought we would get back together,
Because remember that promise that was supposed to be forever.

You lied to me and destroyed my white dove,
The one you said you would always love.
