The first time I saw you was nothing but chance
I still knew at once that I had to take a stand
Still unsure I slowly advanced
To take a shot at an undeniable, possibly unrequitable, romance.
I thought, “Could you understand the reasons behind my sincere advances?”
You did, and suddenly my life felt enhanced
With a simple glance you made my heart skip beats
And I realized that my life was incomplete
Every other person in my life slowly became obsolete
Little did I know that this love would soon retreat…
I would have climbed the highest mountains before admitting defeat
But the sweet couldn’t compete with the deceit that eventually surfaced.
We began to go through everyday without purpose
Slowly began saying things that made both of us nervous
Which turned into words that began to make both of us feel worthless.
Why did it have to become you versus me?
Undoubtedly realizing that we were not meant to be
Which was something that I don’t think either of us could foresee
But I still miss the good times underneath all the rubble and debris…

What I find interesting about this is the notion that the speaker still wants to hold onto these happy feelings even when they are futile. I like how it ends with the (...) almost like a to be continued. I get that sense from the title too. A hesitation to slap a definitive title on it and be done. I also like how you mix up the rhyme a bit. Good stuff. I did feel that the be and forsee rhyme was a little predictable, but hell I can't make 2 lines rhyme let alone an entire poem.
