Guess It's Over

Never thought it would be easy After all these years You’d leave me all alone To face my lonely fears Promised me the earth When I became your bride Said we were forever Always side by side I’m sitting here without you You were my guiding light Now you’ve turned your back on me So I’ve given up without a fight In time I’ll move on Now you’ve let me go One day I may find love again When my broken heart gets strong Would I take you back If you came begging on bended knee Guess I’m not so sure I’m getting used to being free Penned after listening to 3 doors down 'Here without you' Contest I love rock and roll Sponsor Kelly Deschler 11~13~ 2014

Some people want the best of two worlds; they expect to walk away to have fun, and then to come back as if nothing happened. The answer to them lies in that final line. Well done, Jan. // paul

So so true Paul and so very sad and the hurt that is caused must be unbearable when all trust has gone:-( Hugs jan xx

You might of let me known privately. Even a text would have been better than this...BUT in front of all the Soupers? I am so embarrassed. The only reason I turned my back on you...well I was naked, I am a little shy and ok I'll admit it I have a great ass. I mean I turned back around and you were gone...well I felt like a dick and obviously you didn't.

I'm here without you baby by three doors down,one of the most beautiful songs ,but ahh your words are much deeper sweet Jan..and they touch my heart and soul.How forgranted some people take the love in their life,then one day they wake up to find her or him gone ,or maybe still there but not in heart and soul.Im favouring this one sweet Jan.Glad its fiction dear..Charma
