When I Think About You


I never thought we would end up like this,
two lovers drifting apart
Did I do something that started pushing you away,
did I say something that I wish I could take back,
right now today?
On this sea of loneliness,
the waves come crashing down
Tossing and turning in my sleep,
now that you're no longer around
Empty days, lonely nights
It's hard to breath living without you
Knowing you're somewhere else,
so far apart,
what am I now suppose to do?
It's so hard living without you

But, I'll always have good memories,
the things we did together with such joy
I'll always have mental pictures of the past,
the beautiful times,
when I thought our love would always last

Many are the smiles 
when I think about you
Many are the tears,
now that I'm living without you

Many are my dreams,
of you holding me in your arms
every night
Many are my regrets,
that I never really knew how to
make things right

Still, many are the smiles
when I think about you
And I think about you often,
many a lonely miles

Hi Freddie, You have captured the longing of being without the one you love very well. I also found it to be sad and very romatic.Sometimes in life we don't get that happily ever after. A without a doubt seven and straight into my favs:-) Alexis

This is past the initial state of grief, already the pain has found a positive slant on which to lean itself. This is the verge of a healing that includes a leaving of sharp measure to be felt occasionally over the years. I enjoyed this, as you can tell, it stirred my own emotionally born thoughts. All the best ... CayCay
