Long-Gone

Two years have gone by Since you left my life, Thinking I'd die without you, But somehow I made it through. It was a tough and long road That I had to tackle on my own. Such a hard and drawn out task, Trying to erase memories of our past. A seven year relationship was now gone, Wondering where it all went wrong. When at one time it was so good, Turning back the clock if I could. You were my whole world, I truly believed, Never dreaming that you'd ever leave. I really thought we had it all, Until you caused me to fall. Pushing me so hard to the ground, Landing in the dirt, my face down. And as I got up, wiped myself clean, I couldn't believe you were so mean. Is true love even real, Or something you pretended to feel? Is marriage still a solemn vow, Or something you did just for now? I guess I was blind and not too smart, You fooled me while stealing my heart. All I had to give i willingly gave, Then gave more becoming your slave. And now after all is said and done, I actually feel like I've won. Knowing now it was all for the best, Feeling happy, content and all the rest. (8/1998)
