Forever and a Day
Like most I suffer from heartbreak
It don't however affect just my heart
It makes my whole body ache
Ache and longing to hold him holding me
Ache and longing from this misery to be free
The loneliness wouldn't be so bad
But it's the not knowing how he feels I can't take
What I said to him wasn't fake
For Gods sake
I wouldn't make up something like that
I'm in love with him have always been for years
Didn't realize it for so long so now because of this I count my tears
I told him this I can't help how I feel
And I know for certain this is so very real
I know together we can help each other heal
Think though I've really scared him off for good this time
There are no good reasons nor any good rhymes
No one is to blame
Christ it's been almost nineteen years that have come and gone since together
last
And it all seemed at the time to go so slow
Yet in harsh reality it all went by way to fast
The wonderful memories of my unforgettable past
Damn the years we let slip by
Gone forever in a blink of an eye
Only to re-play ever so slowly
Over and over in the back of our minds
Life is all to often unkind
The pain is a never ending fight
With yourself in which you lose sight
Of all around you
And also like most I yet can't let go
Not until for sure I know
If he feels for me the same
Or if my mind was just playing another game
Can't do like I did before
Can't keep on walking out the door
Not looking back for so long, closing it and locking him away
I've had my chance to say
I'm in love with him
I know my chances are grim
Of getting to hear the same of him
But I believe him and me
We're meant to be
I know we still have each others heart
And from one another we should've never been torn apart
So I still dream, hope and pray
Maybe someday
At long last
We can stop the many regrets we have of our past
Oh I know I should move on
But the feelings between us they're not gone
I will go on trying
Even if I have to be continually crying
I love him in every way
For him I'll hold on...
Forever and a day
