Memories

Thinking back on you and I It doesn’t seem that long It’s hard for me believing how The years have come and gone Everything about you still So fresh inside my mind Precious memories locked away But never left behind I shared with you my daytimes But my nights I spent alone It tore my heart to know your nights Were not spent on your own I knew the risks involved Because you wore a wedding ring But I never knew the pain for me That wedding band would bring For years my heart was frozen From a love that it once knew But I knew my heart had melted When I fell in love with you With you and I together So many things were shared But most importantly I never said how much I cared I tried to hide this love from you Afraid to let you see Not knowing of the child we’d made Growing inside of me I knew I’d never be with you I never could have stayed, because We took away this tiny life That you and I had made There’s nothing else you could have done On you I lay no blame But now my life feels empty Full of sadness, loss and shame I would give my all to spend Another night with you For you to hold me in your arms And say you love me too But if this never happens Then I want to tell you still I loved you then, I love you now I know I always will...
