Highway of Losses

They both met in high school Fell in love like struck fools Knew right away this was the one From the very start They melded each others heart Yes, you can say it's true love So after graduation No need for explanation Made plans to be together for life They set to marry In late February Until that rainy evening on that fateful night Now she places wooden crosses On the highway losses Of those that never made it back home Mothers and Fathers Brothers and Daughters Who've lost out on love like her own Which is the reason this quest The center of her loneliness Thinking back to what she almost had When they both slipped from her hands Her love and her life plans Where irony is all she has left If she could turn back the clock To all that she's lost Would it make a difference in where she is today Being the same girl In that same shattered world Where he still holds the heart that she gave away As she places wooden crosses On the highway of losses Of those that never made it back home Mothers and Fathers Brothers and Daughters Who've lost out on love like her own
