In Love With

Where has he gone
The man that fell in love with me

He came to me with open arms
Giving his heart so willingly
With love sparkling in his eyes
And desire dripping from his lips.

Patiently he embraced me
Kissing away all my tears
Freeing me from my prison
While mending my broken heart.

He taught me of real love
Accepting me unconditionally
Giving me hope for a future
And a reason to live.

He showered me with kindness
Waking up this tattered soul
As he sorted thru broken pieces
Tossing bitterness to the wind.

Where has he gone
The man that fell in love with me

He saw what no other had seen
Smiling at the person within
Forgiving me of a life
I had chosen before him.

Slowly I had begun to trust
Believing at last love had come
Feeling he had gotten inside
And touched me where no other had.

And just as I started
To let down my defenses
Something happened, something changed
Tearing apart this love filled soul.

I must have tried his patience
More than his love could take
I never meant to hurt him
Yet somehow I think I did.

Where has he gone
The man I fell in love with

He made my dreams come true
If only for a little while
He made life worth living
If only for a little while.

He was magnificent
This dream man I had
For only he could inspire
So much love inside of me.

I guess I must have dreamt him up
While lost inside myself
But once again reality is faced
This prison too lonely and cold.

Now dreams I wish to stay away
For this one hurt too much
Especially having convinced myself
He was real and not a dream.
