"Lost Love"
We started out as casual friends,
No broken hearts, no rules to bend.
Our friendship grew as the years passed by,
But you didn't yet know that you had caught my eye.
I secretly loved you, faithfully and true,
As you told me of your girlfriends, old and new.
We shared our secrets through long talks on the phone,
The things I knew that no one else had known.
As the years passed by, we grew apart,
But you never once left my heart.
Then once again you entered the scene,
Your eyes saw a woman, no longer a teen.
The dream I had waited so long for had finally came true,
Though you never said the words, you showed me that you loved me too.
You were the one that never let me down,
When I was with you, there wa never a frown.
Then I started seeing someone from my past,
I thought I should, i didn't think our love would last.
Then it happened, that dreadful day,
I found out there was a child on the way.
I didn't want to tell you , I had made all the plans,
I hated telling you that I was marrying the other man.
I was stuck in the middle, which way did I turn?
Who's child was it? Which man do I burn?
I made up my mind to choose the other,
I set you free to find another.
I now share a new love and family of my own,
But the love I felt for you will never be gone.
You were my first love, thats in the past.
But in my heart, our love will last.
I had to say goodbye to you and put you to rest,
It hurt like Hell and i'm still a mess.
you're out of your misery and in a better place,
It's just so hard to believe, it hasn't touched base.
I will love you forever in my own special way,
I will think of you and miss you every single day.
I sit here with a broken heart and eyes full of tears,
As I say goodbye to the man I've loved for 13 yrs.
But we will meet again soon at Heaven's door,
And all the heartache and tears will be no more.
So until I reach that special place,
I'll remember your touch and your smiling face.... I love you!
