It has several times occurred

It has several times occurred that I was not what someone was looking for.
It stung.  I felt snubbed and slighted, sometimes led on,
But in the end, I understood.  
Sometimes it just doesn’t feel right.  
Sometimes you just don’t love someone.  
Actually, most of the time you just don’t love someone.
They are the few and far between times that you do.  
And it is a miracle moment when you both do.
So why did you have to make it so hard?
Why didn’t you figure it out months ago?
You could have saved me so much pain,
And I would have loved you better for it.
