She left me in the pouring rain As the sun beat down from the sky. She didn't cry as she sang her refrain, Emptiness filled me with "Goodbye". Those words, that death, my changing life; I still find her face among the crowd. The regret, the scorn, the bitter strife of pushing against this dark rain cloud. Endless nights I strive to forget My love, my life...misunderstood. Each morning I wake with new regret; I still love her more than I should. |

Unfortunately, it is often this way for a very long while. We heal, but never forget. You write so well, luv. Keep it up. How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |
