It's Not Until You'Ve Tried, You Live!

I use to think you’d call or stop by I use to believe nothing could keep us apart I always thought you’d be around I knew my life with you would last I depended on you needing me Now you don’t even call me And I wonder if I ever cross your mind You put something on me for a thousand life times Something part of me wishes it never have. love Though better to have love than not love at all My heart can’t see passed the pain Its eyes are cluttered by hurt, fear, desire and pain Nonetheless, my love grows like a tree with bent limbs But, my mind knows it’s better to have tried Because it’s not until you try that you live! I long to live through your eyes I need to live through your cries I strive to live for you I use pride to hide my deepest fears I dare not tell anyone how I really feel It’s because of you I know how to live It’s because of the time with you, I’m still here I never experience real pain until you left In my mind you’re still here That day part of me left with you I still see your shadow, still smell your scent I’m still reaching out to that gracious part of you Fighting, broken in pieces Part of me wishes I never met you The other part thanks you For reminding me It’s not until you try that you live!
