The Road
I see you and all I can see is what used to be.
I see the happiness, the love, the sadness and the pain.
I cannot imagine a future with you now.
Is this what has become of us?
I made you my whole life.
I can’t think of you now without thinking of the pain you caused me.
I know that I had fault in the ending of our relationship so I will not put all the blame on you.
I guess this is what they mean when they say, “Your love just wasn’t meant to be.”
Your life just goes on as mine is at a standstill.
You came in and out of my life as if I were anybody better yet a nobody in this world.
I am the woman you say you love.
The one you say you can’t live without but yet you still go on.
I can’t keep doing this to myself.
You say you go on so that we could be together but we are going in two separate directions.
You are so far gone in your direction that I can’t catch up.
If you could only stop for just a minute to turn around and realize that I am no longer there behind you.
You came and kept on going down the road you said we would be going on together.
I wished you could have stopped.
You didn’t give me a chance to say anything not even… goodbye.
