It’s been so long Since last I saw your face, I remember the expression, A sadness my mind cannot erase. You were so happy, I could see it in your eyes, Your family saw it too, It was something you couldn’t disguise. It was there in the morning, It was there at night, It made the summers warm, It made the days so bright. Everyone said you’ve never been Happier, They said you were never sad, They said all you did was smile, And you gave everything all you had. You made me so happy, You helped me to learn things I never Knew, You treated me like a Queen, I never knew love so true. But things quickly changed And I could no longer Find what I used to know, I tried to cover up the problem, But it fiercely continued to grow. It hurt me so bad to do it, To throw two years away, To look into your glassy eyes, To tell you I couldn’t stay. I’m sorry how unhappy I’ve made you, I’m sorry things are so bad, I’m sorry things aren’t the way they Were, I’m sorry your family’s so sad. I wish I wasn’t the cause Of some things that have happened in Your life, I never wanted to hurt you, Or to cause you so much strife. We had promised we’d stay Friends forever, But it even hurts for you to call, I wanted to be there for you To pick you up when you fall. I know you’re upset, You feel like you have been left in the Cold, But there is always a place in my heart, That only you will hold. Sometimes it’s hard, To think about the Past, I wish things worked out, I wish it could have last. I’ve been thinking about you lately, I’m hoping things are OK, I wanted to give you a call, But I wouldn’t know what to say. Best wishes to your family, I miss them too, It’s lonely without them, They’re the best I ever knew. For now it’s goodbye, The story book must close, It seems the petals have been torn Directly from the rose. It truly has been so long Since last I saw your face, I have washed away the hurt, But the memories- I will never erase.
Reason for writing:
I wrote this about someone I once loved. It serves as a reminder that there are some things that will never be forgotten, like a first love. Even when you find another and move on, memories of that person stay fresh in your mind forever. I wrote this because I want the person to know that although we aren't together, I still think about him and care for him. There are some things that just can't be forgotten!
