And So You'Re Gone

AND SO YOU’RE GONE And so you’re gone… now what should I do? My love… Should I keep on believing, you’ll come back to me? I might go insane, as I sit here waiting What about the memories, etched deep in my brain? I can hope… cause there’s always hope… My love… That you’ll understand your feelings, and come home to me! I might go insane, as I’m contemplating What about the memories, etched deep in my brain? Bridge I don’t know…the best way to go Start again…and live without you Hope to find another friend…or I could sit here and keep waiting Ooohhh!! And so you’re gone… now what should I do? My love… Should I keep on believing, you’ll come back to me? I might go insane, as I sit here waiting What about the memories, etched deep in my brain? I can hope… cause there’s always hope… My love… That you’ll understand your feelings, and come home to me! I might go insane, as I’m contemplating What about the memories, etched deep in my brain? Bridge repeat and fade Copyright John Derek Hamilton July06,2018

John, such sad waves of painful emotions wash over me as I read your heartbreaking lyrics John. It's so hard to come to grips with life when you're in love's limbo, caught between reluctantly moving forward or desperately waiting in hope. Your yearning for the desired outcome is expressed with poignant beauty. Congratulations on your well deserved POTD honors with your deeply moving song. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan

I enjoyed your newest song lyrics, John. It would be all that a person could do to keep from going crazy in a situation like this! (thanks for your sonnet contest. It was fun to contemplate my best sonnet, though probably there was another one maybe better!)

Thanks Andrea, the contest was very tough to judge as you can see.
