Lost Love

If only you could see the tears
In the world you left behind
You fill my days, my nights, my dreams
You’re all that’s on my mind
Your laugh I’ll never hear again
Your smile I’ll never see
Memories now are all I have
Since loneliness found me
Time was never on your side
Your short life had to end
Now I'm left in pain without
My love and my best friend
The sadness, the emptiness
The pain I have to face
Will never leave my life
For you’re a loss I can’t replace
Even though the rain will fall
And the sun will still shine on
My life will just exist
Because my whole world now is gone
You are an Angel high above now
Watching over me
But someday I know once again
Together we will be
For when my time on earth is done
You’ll come and take my hand
And guide us to eternal love
Together in God's land..

Will You Remember Me

I know I haven't seen you
I know we’re miles apart
I know I cannot hold you
But I feel you in my heart

Is it wrong to think of you
And you to think of me
Trying not to want 
What we know can never be

Wondering, should we start this 
But it’s already begun
Unable to undo
Potential damage that’s been done

Torn between what’s right and wrong
And what I feel inside
Knowing what will be there
When I look into your eyes

Feeling so confused right now
I find it hard to sleep
I know I’m standing on the edge 
Of something much too deep

I feel you all around me
I feel you in my soul
Two strangers who connected
Two halves that made a whole

Destined for one night of love
One night that we will treasure
One night filled with ecstasy
Where we will come together

But when our night is done, I wonder
Will you set me free...
Will you let me go...
Will you remember me...

Memories

Thinking back on you and I
It doesn’t seem that long
It’s hard for me believing how
The years have come and gone
Everything about you still
So fresh inside my mind
Precious memories locked away
But never left behind
I shared with you my daytimes
But my nights I spent alone
It tore my heart to know your nights
Were not spent on your own
I knew the risks involved
Because you wore a wedding ring
But I never knew the pain for me
That wedding band would bring
For years my heart was frozen
From a love that it once knew
But I knew my heart had melted
When I fell in love with you
With you and I together
So many things were shared
But most importantly
I never said how much I cared
I tried to hide this love from you
Afraid to let you see
Not knowing of the child we’d made
Growing inside of me
I knew I’d never be with you
I never could have stayed, because
We took away this tiny life
That you and I had made
There’s nothing else you could have done
On you I lay no blame
But now my life feels empty
Full of sadness, loss and shame
I would give my all to spend
Another night with you
For you to hold me in your arms
And say you love me too
But if this never happens
Then I want to tell you still
I loved you then, I love you now
I know I always will...

Kiss and Say Goodbye

You're on my mind all of the time
In dreams when I’m asleep
I know I should be running, but
With you I'm in too deep 

Why you came into my life
I guess I’ll never know 
Why can’t I hold on to you
Instead of letting go

I never made you promises
I knew it wasn’t fair
For I’m not free to love you 
I'm not free to care

“Keep it real” you always say
But you must try to see
That all this love you have inside
Just isn’t meant for me

Have you heard the saying 
“Nothing good will last forever”
Just remember what we had
And what we shared together

My time with you was not enough
I knew I couldn’t stay 
We’ll never have tomorrow
But we did have yesterday

You took me on journey
To a place I’ve never been
A feeling so insatiable
A night of lust and sin

For you I’ll always hunger
Our connection was insane
But while I hold the memory
Someone else will speak your name

Will you still remember me
When you’re with someone new
Will you still feel me
When I’m reaching out for you

If I’d had the chance to take 
Possession of your soul
I would have made it smile
I would have made you whole

You and I can never be  
Our worlds are far apart
But you I won’t forget
For you’re engraved here in my heart

Will you grant my last request
And stay for one more night
If it’s wrong to feel like this
I don’t want to be right

And when the dawn arises
You will dry the tears I cry
You’ll hold me one last time
Before we kiss and say goodbye...

Boy and Girl

I feel my mind go wondering back
And let the years unfold
To when I first met you
When we were just eleven years old

So innocent and young we were
Just holding hands together
When we shared our first kiss
I thought you’d stay with me forever

But then as we grew up
I left behind my school girl days
It broke my heart to turn our backs
And go our separate ways

And as the years passed by
I tried to put you from my mind
For I had family ties now
Leaving memories far behind

But you and I had something
That forever would be there
A love that grew from innocence
That no one else could share

And though I tried forgetting
In my heart you did remain
For deep inside I knew one day 
Our paths would cross again

We couldn’t hide our feelings
Though we both knew it was wrong
For we were man and woman now
The boy and girl had gone

But deep inside we’d always known
That 'we' could never be
While you were tied to someone else
I had my family

So once again you walk away
But never will you know
The sadness and the pain inside
The tears I'll never show

The heartache that will stay with me
Until the day I die
For you will always be the love I lost
Who said goodbye...

Goodbye

My life is torn between two worlds
Of now and used to be
But all I ever wanted 
Was the world of you and me
Memories of the only love 
That I have ever known
It’s hard to hold them in my heart
But hard to let them go
At times I wonder who I am
Where did I go wrong 
Why am I so lonely 
In a life I don’t belong
I know my heart will never heal
While feeling so much pain
I’ll never find the sunshine 
While I’m following the rain
Too late now for miracles
They wouldn’t change a thing
For someone else’s finger
Now wears your wedding ring
But though our song has ended
You still want us to dance
And though I’m still in love with you
My heart can't take the chance
Forever I will miss you
And forever I will cry, but
To find myself again
I know I have to say goodbye..

For All Eternity

As daylight dawns my eyes close
On another sleepless night
So cold and all alone without
Your arms to hold me tight
I look out through the glass
And watch the sunrise in the sky
And still I find no answers
As again I’m asking why
My nights they seem so endless
Then I face another day
So full of pain and loneliness
Since God took you away
People say that time will heal
That I’ll get over you
That one day I will laugh again
That I’ll find someone new
I only wish they’d understand
Why that will never be
I’ll never love another
For you were my destiny
And though I've tried to carry on
My fears I cannot hide
I just can’t face this world alone
Without you by my side
The tablet bottles empty now
And on our I lay
I put my hands together
Then I close my eyes and pray
Please God will you send back down
My Angel from above
Then he will gently take my hand
And lead me back to love
He’ll guide the way to Heaven
Where together we will be
Two Angel's who are blessed with love
For all eternity...

My Secret Love Affair

Even though our time is just
A moment here and there
To me you’ll never be 
The average everyday affair

I know I’m just a picture 
In the memory of your mind
The girl you keep a secret
The girl you leave behind

There was a time I’d lay awake 
And dream of you and I
There was a time I wanted more
There was a time I’d cry

For love is never easy
When it’s given just by one
Love is never easy 
When for him it’s just for fun

Love is never easy 
When you think that it’s for real
But when the spell is broken
It's not love, but lust you feel

Your dreams diminish one by one
Illusions fade away
And in their place reality
Has come to have its say

So now I know the secret 
To a passionate affair
To just enjoy the moment
To live without a care

To take each moment as it comes 
With eyes now open wide
But always with your secret love
You just enjoy the ride...

Without You - There Is No Me

I looked into your eyes and saw the window to my soul
And knew right then for me there’s only you 
I knew this was forever, I surrendered to this love 
I was lost every time I looked at you

I felt I had I been searching - trying every door
But every flame I lit too quickly died
Until the day I found you - just waiting there for me
I knew I’d always want you by my side

My love for you was easy, innocent and blind 
There were no chains or walls around my heart
With you there was beginning, there’d never be an end 
I never dreamed we’d ever be apart

Sometimes we did lose touch with our feelings inside
We had our share ups and downs and fears
But mostly we were happy, so I guess I never dreamed
My happiness would be replaced with tears 

On the day you left me, devastated, in despair
And emptiness invaded all my days
My fragile heart was shattered, broken beyond repair
With too much pain that time cannot erase

In love you’re always standing, you never to learn to fall, 
Or stop to think what life is all about
You never dream that one day there’s a chance you’ll be alone 
You never dream this love you’ll be without

Your presence here still lingers...it won’t leave me alone  
It haunts my days, my nights, my thoughts, my dreams
I don’t know how do this and be here on my own
This loss is so much harder than it seems

I know I mustn’t let the past destroy what comes tomorrow
But without you I don’t know how to feel
Without you I’m broken, I’m lost and so alone
Without you I don’t know how to heal

But even in my shattered world so shaken to its core
A second chance for you and I to be
I know I wouldn't hesitate, I know I’d take you back 
For without you in life, there is no me...

If I Stay

If I stay will you hold me
And comfort me through my tears
If I go will you miss me 
And live with regret through the years

If I stay will you kiss me
With the passion you used to show
If I go will you let me
Be someone you used to know
 
If I stay will you promise
To always be faithful and true
If I go will you fetch me
And bring me back home to you

If I stay will you keep me
Tucked safely away in your heart
If I go will you find me
Or let us drift slowly apart
 
If I stay will you love me
Promise to not hurt me again
If I go will you stop me 
And heal this crippling pain

The choice I make now is forever
But what to do...I don’t know
Forgive, forget and be happy
Stay with you...or just let go...
