Gone But Not Forgotten

I always thought you loved me
Guess it isn’t so
Thought it was forever
How was I to know

You belong to another
She has stolen your heart
Better start to adjust
Now we are apart

Such tender words you spoke
They meant so much to me
Was it some just a joke
Was I blind and couldn’t see

I see you out together
Walking hand in hand
I thought we were forever
I simply don’t understand 

There will never be another
No one can ever take your place
I have no chance to be a mother
Guess I need some breathing space

Trust has gone from my life
Your actions made that clear
I will never be your wife
A life alone now is all I fear

You write some pretty good fiction, glad to know this isn't true, it still does hurt to see the one you want to be with with someone else. Hugs, millions of people in the world, with the internet no one is alone anymore :)

Love is universal, so the matter of sacrifice always comes in life. From the teen age to the old age, many times love comes unknowingly as air is must to breath in and out. No fear is there but needs to take care. Though it's sad but practical in its own place. Loved always,bl

Wow, Jan, I really love this. It reads like lyrics. Very, very touching, heartfelt, and yes, a little sad. Thanks for pulling on my heartstrings today. Jim

That was my biggest fear. Being alone....once the trust goes....there is no getting it back....hugs Tim

I can understand that Tim. Hopefully you will find someone special who doesn't let you down but it is so difficult to trust once you have been so hurt:-( Hugs as ever Jan xx
