Tears With Vince
Gone
Like I meant nothing
two years of nothing
unsurprising really
I always knew I loved more
Heart breaking
I keep it together
allowing only private tears
so family and friends
remain unconcerned
They never knew
exactly how much
I loved you
We loved our way
away from them
Another break
we’d had several
and always fixed it
but not this time
this time you left
Outwardly I smiled
went places with friends
Danced, sang
but inside I crumbled
My joy was gone
Living on hold
loving long distance
waiting for the call
a connection to prove
I was not forgotten
Friends assumed
I was good
ready to move on
They never knew
Until Vince sang his song
Right there
in front of them
welling in silently
as the dam cracked
and then flooded
Love and Loneliness
flowed from cracks
and proved the song true
“I never knew lonely
‘til you”
Song: I Never Knew Lonely by Vince Gill
Heartbreak circa 1992
