A Fatefull Night

As I walked down the long dirt road the thought of you set me aglow. The sun smiled down, as I said your name then the tears fell like rain. I remembered on that fateful night things weren't good we had a fight. Insults screamed, hateful things said, Then you stormed out and almost drove away, thou the stinging rain, I begged you to stay, and I heard your tires scream as you drove away. I went to bed, and cried myself to sleep, praying, the lord your soul to keep. I was awakened by a shrieking bell, the telephone ringing or maybe the doorbell. I put on my robe and ran to the door, thanking God that he'd kept you safe once more. But when I opened the door, it was not you. There before me stood a man in blue. "I'm sorry", he said, to tell you this way, your true love is dead, nothing else to say. Now as the months pass into years, I still cry a river of tears, mourning the loss of the love we had knowing now it never could of been.
