you said you had to go, then you left me so fast,
i said i was sorry but i can't change the past,
i guess you were right, and i was so wrong,
our few weeks apart have seemed like so long,
we all make mistakes and this we both know,
so why can't we just leave this one alone,
but then, i guess, this one was grand,
no little while lie, no small grain of sand.
i just want us to be the way we once were,
without all the loneliness, the pain, and the hurt.
i made a mistake, and i know i must pay,
but please don't take my sunshine away,
i said that i loved you, you couldn't say it back,
is it the love, or the courage you lack?
i know we're both young, and we've got so much time,
but these days i can't get you off of my mind.
they say these years are the best of my life,
but i think i'll prefer the nights with my wife.
that's what you were, in all of my dreams,
but i guess that won't be, or at least it so seems
that you don't love me, and i'm not in your heart,
why did this argument even have to start,
leaving me hopeless, and drowning in tears,
losing what was mine for nearly two years.

Is it the love, or the courage you lack...incredible line!  I'm enjoying your style and realness very much.

Very nice.  I also love that line...
Is it the love or the courage you lack.
Looking forward to reading more!
