Should Be

Going on without you
Is driving me insane
The love I still have for you
Has never been in vain
In going our separate ways
Nobody was to blame
Even with everything around us that's changed
For you I still feel the same
Love is not about winning or losing
It's not about how well you play the game
It's about your raw emotions
And your wanting them to go back from where and which they came
The ones from deep inside your soul
And they can't nor won't be restrained
You try so hard to control
But you find yourself wanting more for that special someone
Then you do for or ever have wanted for anyone before
Even if your heart forever they've stole
And the pain you endure
Well I'm the last one who needs to be told
I live it every damn day to be bold
I do what I do
Just to go on
Living in my moments
That are not my own
Time passes right on by
Tears oh yes, I've cried
Yet I believe in many ways with wisdom I've grown
Wild oats have been sewn
Realizing things perhaps a little to late
Knowing now he's always been my soul mate
Now leaving things up to fate
It's hard when your memories
Plays with your reality
You don't know if you can get through the night
Sometimes standing in the tunnel
You can see the light
It all comes together and fits again just right
For me for now only more time passing will tell
If my world will forever be a living hell
When that times comes will you be there as before
Or simply turn and quietly shut the door
Would you gently take me in your arms and hold me tenderly forever more
Or will you cut me deep to the core
Either way I just wish it would be done
So I can get things out in the open
Get on with our lives again whatever they may be
But just know that I'll forever believe
Together is where you and me 
Should be
