Thinking from the start
That it would always be you
Thinking you had changed
Giving you the benefit of the doubt
Having given you my heart
After all that
I was such a fool
Ready to spend eternity by your side
You broke those vows
When you lied
Never again
Will I be played the fool
Now I know better
When it comes to you
I knew from the start
It could never last
The warmth of your touch
Is fading fast
I can’t hate you
For the things I’ve done
I stayed around
When I should have run
Though the memories
Will surely fade
I’m glad for
The love we made
Heated
Passioned
Full of fire
You brought out
My true desires
Your intensity burns like
White flames of a fire
Too hot
Never really able to get close
Yet drawn
Like a moth to a flame
Tempted me, teased me
Tortured me
With your eyes
Looked at me, looked into me
Penetrated me with your gaze
You left your mark
With your first glance
Scarred my flesh
With your first touch
At the mercy of the desire
You bring out of me
Trying to vanquish the need
That smolders like embers
Of a long burning fire
Candle light flickers
Like the beat of a heart
Tears start to shimmer
With the thought of us being apart
Saying “See you later”
Instead of “Good-bye”
Then I wonder
Will you even try
Whether we do or we don’t
For you, I’ll always feel the same
But I’ll always wonder
Why we had to be
A part of life’s game
Thinking back on the past
On our time together
All the wrong I caused
Knowing it has shaded
Your thoughts of me
Having learned from my mistakes
Wishing there was a way
To change it all
Not knowing how much
You would ever mean to me
When I am troubled
Thoughts of you
Comfort me
They put me at ease
Being here alone in life
Wanting to hear your voice
One more time
But, you are gone
There in your time of doubt
There in your time of need
Just to listen
Or to lend a shoulder
To make you smile
When you feel blue
No matter how far apart
When they are needed
They are there
As you look into my eyes
Learning all my secrets
Knowing who I am
Without speaking a word
As you kiss my lips
You breathe in my soul
Taking a part of my life
Mixing it with yours
Becoming a part of you
A bond made of life’s forces
That will last an eternity
And beyond
Forever drawing us together
Soul mates
