Love Left Behind

There was once a time When I was so close I was so in love With a woman We were going to spend forever together But time took it's toll On my mind I thought to myself How would I? Why should I? And could I? Even if I tried I thought we were not meant to be She was not the one I saw so many problems With how she looked How she acted How she she spoke And how she thought I left the years we had behind Now I look to the past To see what I left behind And I think to myself Why did I want this time apart I have been a man who stands on his own Spending this time alone Now seeing that I was a fool When I look at her picture She looks so beautiful And thinking of when she spoke I hear her voice in my head And what she said sends shivers down my spine How could it be that she was once mine We could I have been married But I was just a foolish man Who was to scared To spend my life to someone else Now when I look to the stars at night I want to reach up and get one for her But after so many years And so many times that I broke her heart She chose to move on When I saw her with another man I just wanted to die inside I know the reason that we're not together And it's all my fault
