Letting Go
What could I do
She was my world.
She danced a song like no ordinary girl.
She wasn't mine, but she only loved me.
The second I tried, she let me know she was free.
I learned right away how it was to be
Love, there was love, deeper than I had ever known
Farther than my heart had ever gone
It was like the movies in my little world and she was the star
She sometimes acted like a spoiled little girl and pushed me too far
Still, I was just her fool, I knew what I would lose.
I played my part far too well, Sometimes she played my muse
Our world was what you read about..
Dances in the rain
Lovers on a train
Kisses one past midnight
On a gravel moonlit lane
I believed it was forever.
My heart should have know better.
My love was a love that was meant to burn strong
Through time lit like fire it would not burn for long
Though our love was all we knew
Our hearts were young but strong and true
A war would take me young and then the song was sung
As time would weave it's web,
I heard from her less and less
Soon, even less.
Until she was no more
I spent many lonely nights
With my heart in peices on the floor
I still wonder to this day.
What the stars might have to say
Had fate touched us both another way.
We'll always have that love that burned so fierce and bright.
I hold the memory of her close, to love's eternal light.
