Too Good To Be True


The first time I saw you and looked in your 
      eyes, I felt the trust and the love,
        and my heart wanted to cry.
          Then over and over,
             you told me,
             that our,
          love was forever,
        and you would hold me close ever,
      that you would give me the moon.
You told me, "I will always be a heartbeat away."

But, it was not real, it was a fairy tale love,
      I can still hear your tender words,
        and I believed in forever.
          It was not true,
            just a  dream,
            a wish,
          you promised me the sun.
        I won't say goodbye, I can't yet,
      and my heart is trembling still,
as I place a red rose on your eternal cold grave.
