Broken Dreams

I fell in love 
For the first time
When my first love
Left me for the first time

My heart felt so sad
That for moments I couldn't move
From the side of the bed where I might have cherished
Those times of love with him

Nothing could make me feel better
Better to make me live life
Just like those dreams
That I saw with my open eyes

Dreams do come true
But what if they are broken too
My love for him died that day
When all he needed was me to stay

Not everyone gets the love of their life
Not everybody can really find their own tribe
It's not always what you want your life to be
Because sometimes those speechless lines engraved in your hand have a lot to speak!!!
