How did you see inside my heart,
Shine your love into every part,
Illuminating my soul,
And for the first time made me whole?
How did you know that I was lost,
Like a ship in a storm roughly tossed
From wave to wave of desolation,
With no home port or destination?
Until the beacon of your love
Lit my heart from up above,
Made calm the waters of the storm,
Soothed my fears and kept me warm.
And when I grew to need you so,
Came then the time you had to go.
I grew to hate the word “goodbye,”
“It’s for the best,” I had to lie.
But best for whom I dare inquire?
Not best for me; my soul’s afire
With empty heart and tear-filled eye,
That cannot change or rectify
This fatal love that we have shared,
Of which we both have now despaired,
And turned to go our separate ways,
Each longing for those glorious days
When life was good, and hearts were light,
We knew we’d seen the last of night.
But here we sit and dream and sigh,
And wonder how did our love die?

Amyfriendalmost 17 years agoromantic piece about love lost but certainly not forgotten. Very nicely done, thanks.
