After All These Years

It's always there within me, that feeling of non-belief. You would think after all these years I would have found relief. The heartfelt joy of true love I found in years so young, Became an all too sad song unlike the love songs, sung. I tried to mend that broken heart but you could never see Just what those mean and hurtful things were were building up in me. And soon you left me all alone, never again I'd see your face, I felt the love I'd felt for you seemed now like such a waste. He's gone, they said, he passed away, but years had left me cold. My heart did break again that day from memories sad and old. I did forgive, did not forget the good times and the wrongs. But I still keep you in my heart 'cause that's where love belongs.
