I thought I knew you(knew you well)

But out of the BlueCame a story to tell.

You loved me--very much you said;

You even had hopes that TheeI would wed.

Unfortunately (back in the past),you did a thing

that caused us not to lastfor much more than a fling.

My heart was broken(snapped in two).

Words could never be spokento repair it-not even by you.

Was she pretty?Was she nice?Hmm.

What a pity--You weren't even attracted twice.

Now all has been cast aside,All has been lost

Your dreams, your efforts, and pride;Because you failed to calculate the cost.

I'm still here for you, though,I'll always be there.

It happened before we occurred--a long time ago...There's no need to live in despair!

Well, that's what I thought then.But I was a million miles away.

(Or was it ten?)From my travels, I couldn't really comfort you from day to day.

We called. We wrote.We made plans. We had a dream

that no matter what we'd swim across this moat.We'd reach our castle & always be a team.

I don't know what happened- what took place.But something stole your liveliness--your will to fight,

Your ability to finish the race.Nevertheless, I still hung on with all my might.

Now that you're leavingAs you feel forced to do,

I'm constantly grieving--Wishing I could go, too.

Circumstance, however, won't allow it.Not yet. Not just now.

You say when you rise from this pitYou'll be back; someway; somehow.

Hopefully, one day you'll see that my world changed, too...

First, we were one, quite happily,Now we exist as two.

It doesn't have to be that way--My love for you is REAL,lasting forever (and a day!)And that's the way I'll always feel.
