That Lonely Ache

Every time I think of you, a smile runs across my face
The moments that we shared in part, can never be erased.
It may have been at a haggard pace and now there's just an empty space,
my world has shifted out of place, as I long for your embrace, 
to grasp your waist
your lips to taste

I opened up, i was vulnerable, you seemed to be amenable,
and now I feel incapable of moving on irrecoverable,
my sadness is insufferable this feeling is uncomfortable,
my intentions only honorable, my love for you unalterable.

I hope im not making mistakes, by holding on, lying in wait,
this love I have... I cannot shake 
she made me feel so awake, 
alive inside a creative take

it’s her love I cant forsake, 
its why I feel this lonely ache.

I’ll persevere, I'll move along 
but deep down... I’m holding on, 
even as I write this song, 
hoping our hearts truly belong,

I know my love cannot be wrong 
its hard as hell to stay so strong,
the suffering may be prolonged, 
I wont deny my love lives on.

I wont give in, I wont give up, 
Im realistic in my thought.
I've learned the lessons I've been taught, 

I know a love can be caught 
and just as fast, rendered-naught. 

Its just my soul, it’s tied in knots,
It’s tough to prevent a hardening heart 
But a love like this, a fight be fought.
Just to be sure... just for the aught. 
A love so special should be sought.
to its end... it’s natural force, 
remaining friends, no remorse 
for letting that love run its course

Let love stand tall! Let the chips fall!
‘Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never have loved at all.

Let love stand tall! Let the chips fall!
‘Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never have loved at all.
