I never thought
I could feel as I do
Love inside
Only for you

I never thought
I could cause you such pain
Yet before my eyes
The truth remains

I never thought
You would be here right now
Searching for answers
Of where, when and how
Where do we go?
from this point we are now
When will we know?
And how do we find a new beginning?

I never thought
That we might not last
But here we are now
With only a past

I never thought
Love could hurt me so much
Transcending the fear
Lost without touch

I never thought
You are part of my sleep
Pressed against me
Wrapped up so deep

I learn here each day
That I needed you more
But I never thought
Not before
You were gone

I like this one, the meter is smooth, and you have a consistent vision.  I especially like the ending.

You tug at my heart with this...it's hard to think about the times we just don't think...and then its too late. Thanks for reminding me to think first.
