Learning the Hard Way

by spirit (aries) - Not entered

you gave a vision of what life was to be
you showed me the world that i was to see
you promised me love, said you'd always be there
to lend me a hand, to show me you care
we walked through the days never rushing our steps
we cherished our time for ours was well spent
then suddenly one day you weren't by my side
you were gone forever but not a tear did i cry
i rushed through the days by myself, all alone
i cherished our memories though my angers had grown
then one day i thought of you 
and a bitter sigh i sighed
the long-awaited saddness pierced my heart
and i broke down and cried
i cried for all the empty dreams that people have these days
i cried because i had a dream but then it slipped away
i cried because a love like ours was always meant to last
to endure throughout eternity, the present, future, past
and although i would have never changed it
in my heart i'll always know it's true
a lesson learned the hard way
was the price of loving you
