We must not be scared
To hold on so tight
To the ones that we love
With all of our might

I was in love once
I was loved back too
So many good times
Our love was so true

But as time passed by
I started to fear
That one day my love
would just disappear

So I ran away fast
Not knowing why
My love left behind
I started to cry

It later came clear
That I was in strife
For I couldn't live without
The love of my life

So I went back to her
Only to see
She was with someone else
And she was happy

So now I must live
Never released from the maze
Sad and lonely
For the rest of my days

Its a heart breaking lesson
That I had to learn
But I still have hope
Some day she'll return

We must not be scared
To hold on so tight
To the ones that we love
With all of our might

We must read the lines before we read between the lines.

...well said...my experience comes from the flip-side of this...

"...don't ever stop loving, don't ever stop believing, don't ever stop dreaming your dreams..."
Warmly...

So true, sometimes we don't realize the happiness we're holding till it's gone.

Lesson number one: hold on tight if things are going well.

A personal story well told and the simplicity adds to it beauty.  Well written. ^_^

Welcome to Passions, (I know it's late... but I've been busy with college...!) I hope to see you around!
