Love Lost

Our love was strong
But not for long
Each and every day
I think of you and say
What if we were meant to be
What if we just couldn’t see what was right in front of you and me
All things happen for a reason, at least that’s what I’m told
So why can’t I move on this is getting really old
 I hope that you will eventually see
Everything you meant to me
You were my world I hope you know
You were the reason that the stars would glow 
I stand alone trembling in fear
Oh how I wish you were still here
You were the reason I had for living
Now you’re taking instead of giving
I hope you know I miss you dearly
This is said very clearly
I know someday, you’ll want me back
But let me tell you, I don’t work like that
 Just so know, you’ll have to go and find somebody new
You and me, we are through and there is nothing else that you can do
So leave me now, please just go
No one will have to know
What we had, has come and gone 
I guess it’s time to just move on
