Hopeless Love

My problem is that I love you, but there's really nothing I can do! There's not too much that I can say. My heavy heart just pines away. You're the greatest love of my whole life and I longed for you to be my wife. But someone stole your love away. There's really nothing more to say. So that my love, means you're not free. It now appears you'll never be. I can't convince my broken heart that you and I must stay apart. Right now there is no you and me. Appears it wasn't meant to be. My whole world tumbled to the ground. I lost the love I thought I'd found. But Honey, please remember this. If your new love should go amiss, I'll be here - arms opened wide and you can stay forever by my side!

it is sad..but no one can steal the love away..it either was never there to begin with or they did not mean it..or confused feelings..no one can steal love away..free will...and temptations can be fought with strength...
