When I was with you
nothing mattered to me
I was as happy as I could be,
nothing any girl said could have phased me.
There was a permanent smile on my face,
one that NOTHING could erase.
A filled whole in my heart,
one that NO ONE else could replace.
I use to always say
when I get you I'll never let go,
but you can only squeeze so tight
before the blood don't flow.
you didn't even give me a choice
you just walked away.
I didn't even get a chance
to make you wanna stay.
Told me you would be back.
Someday.
The way things look now
that "someday" will never come my way.



Don't fear failure so
much that you refuse to
try new things. The
saddest summary of a
life contains three
descriptions:
could have,
might have,
and should have.
--Louis Boone

VERY good analogy here - and oh so true. I think sometimes it's hard to realize that - therefore the saying: "If you love someone, let them go..."

Well told, and I must say an attractive format for this piece!

One word, OUCH!     This was good, and reach out, we've been there before!  

Take it easy,
