I Thought Love Came My Way

I didn’t know what hit me When I thought love came my way It came almost out of nowhere But it would not stay It made its camp for several years The best years I thought I’d had It made me happy now and then It mostly made me sad Sometimes it left me alone Just desperate to hold on Trying hard to save something That was already gone But it vanished quickly It left me in the cold And any smiles it brought me Were replaced by tears tenfold And so I’ve come to realize That wasn’t love at all It wasn’t even close to love It was just so flawed Because real love is perfect Real love doesn’t leave Real love makes you stronger It doesn’t make you weak Real love can’t be broken It doesn’t fade away It stands strong through any storm And it cannot be swayed I hope that love will find me And that I’ll know it when it does I hope that it comes quickly And that its all that I’ve dreamed of
