“A Story of Love”

Beneath the starry heavens
I heard a cry
Within my soul
Screaming for one
For one like you

I searched earth as far as the eye could see
But alas,  I was unable to find the one I sought
I waited, killing my emotion with each passing day
Thinking one such as you would never come my way

But that proved wrong
The day I saw you
I longed to hold you close
And set to change my ways
For you

Over time I did what I promised
I changed more and more with each day
Dreaming of you each and every night
Thinking of the day that I would be able to hold you tight

Then that day I say you again
I joked and played
Like a normal person would
Then in playing I did the unexpected
And pulled you close to me

Happier then I’d ever been
Knowing what love was like
I now had a reason to go on every day
For my dream had come true, because I was finally with you

Then you went away
And left me all alone
Without one goodbye
I sit here
only to wonder why

true sorrow showing
through the madness that engulfs
on the edge of my sanity I hear your voice
only an illusion, cast by my oh so broken heart

I don’t know what to do
I keep one wishing upon the stars
But they refuse to grant my wishes
Though my soul cries
My wishes are for you

It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

I've learned that even when you

This was really sad, I felt the longing in this piece and that's kinda what made it so good.  Just remember what they say "It's better to have lived and loved than to have never loved at all." You are lucky to have loved.
