The Remnants of Her Love

I had my chance And somehow I blew it I know that you love me too As much as I love you The keyboards on our computer Can only get us that close And all the cameras we used Just couldn't stop the loneliness I wanted to get on a plane And ran straight into your arms But what we want and what we can do Is the difference between fantasy and reality You told me " that you would go to bed early Just so that you can dream of me And at that moment I felt happy And then I felt guilty for not being with you because I was worried to go to sleep Because I was afraid that I might awake And realize that all this that we have Was just a dream But our love was not a dream. It was two lovers couldn't be together Falling apart, breaking our hearts With the remnants of love A love that's true A love that's pure A love that's right but not meant to be A love so worth dying for The distance was our crime While love was our defense And through the mist of our love We both know to hold on made no sense But still, neither of us would let go We were thousands of miles apart But love made our hearts beat as one But it was a battle we would lose You have your world And I had my world And though we love each other From our world, we couldn’t break free And then you got ill for a few weeks And I was completely helpless That when I realize that I couldn’t keep you hanging on and waiting for a love that would never bear its fruits although the seeds were planted in our hearts the tears and miles apart kept it from bringing a harvest and I couldn’t do that to you again so, I started to ignore your text more and more while missing you like crazy but pretending that I didn’t care so, I decided to slowly break us up and started to let her go but I miss her and I love her and I wish to be with her but we met at a wrong time in our life she didn’t want to end our relationship so, I lied and said that I met someone else and I hurt her because I love her and because I didn’t want to hurt her I don’t know if anyone will understand that But I love her with all of my heart And I could never look at or love anyone again But I had to end our love affair because we couldn’t be together I miss her every second of every moment And tears come to my eyes when I hear her favorite love song “when I'm with you “by sheriff” And I learn to live with my grief and heartache And the remnants of her love
