The Love of My Life, Part 2

After waiting for so long
The day finally came,
Being together where we belong;
Our love burning like a flame.

But then our perfect world together
Vanished in my eyes,
The day I found the letter,
Coming as a complete suprise,
Filling up my head
With such shame and guilt,
So many things that you said,
Damaging all that we'd built.

Now I feel like a fool,
As you still control my thoughts,
Listening to CD's of Jewel,
Tying myself up in knots.
But I take blame, too,
For I let it diminish.
I should have fought for you,
But still, I believe we're not finished.

That was until Christmas day
When I called to say, "I care",
Just to make sure you were okay.
Hearing you hated me;
So hard to bare.
That's the worst you could do,
Because words cut so deep.
Especially since I still love you,
Dreaming constantly of you as I sleep.

Did we rush in too soon,
Is that what went wrong?
Prominsing each other the moon,
Trying to create the perfect love song.
All I know is what my heart tells me,
And it still beats for you.
That gives me the hope to believe
That our destiny to be together remains to be true.
