Silent Love

I loved you once in silence
and you helped me find my voice
My heart sang songs of yearning
now life has given me a choice

We built a love worth having
our foundation strong and true
So much happiness worth sharing
and it is all because of you

My days and nights are empty
now that you have gone away
No amount of love or caring
could make you want to stay

It is all unclear my darling
still I wish you here with me
My life turned out so different
than I thought that it would be

I wish you well I wish you love
I hope your dreams come true
I loved you once in silence
now I know that I still do...

This is very very nice. I just read another one with that same nostalgic feeling and bittersweetness. I think it was George's. Is it for a contest? I sure enjoyed it. Luv, andrea
