A happy day shared

A smile exchanged

Promises of forever whispered

Gone in a heart beat

Realizing now that you were never mine

Waiting... hoping....

That you would see how beautiful our love could be...

Fear and excuses holding you back

Pushing me away

Denying us the joy we could have shared

You said it was slippin away

The feelings of love and understanding

Yet you never allowed me close enough to embrace me whole heartedly

Gone is the infatuation and innocent wonder

Replaced by experience and cynicism

Oh how I wish to be lost in the romantic bliss of a time gone

To get one's hope up a luxury too painful in the present

Facade in place ... Loneliness a constant companion

Hoping someday to find my dreams again
