Wondering Where Love Went
I relayed on trust
more than affection;
watching every move,
instead of watching the flowers slowly bloom.
Wondering where love went,
chasing after the illusion
of bringing it back where it was;
and realizing the impossibility, I'm so saddened.
You wanted more than understanding,
warm hands to hold and the fire of desire...
to let you ride on your fantasy star;
and I regret all that I didn't give you with real feeling.
Wondering where love went,
and what is the lesson that
life has taught me? Never wait
for others, just trust your instinct and shun every doubt.
Wondering where love went,
seeing happy lovers, engaging in romance,
who they have found their paradise;
I was looking for mine in someone whom I didn't love enough...
