You were the only one I could rely on
At one point in time,
I thought you would always be there,
I had your back, I thought you had mine

Things never work out the way you want them to,
That's what I've heard,
But I thought things with you were different
I guess that was absurd

You were the only one who could bring me to tears,
But I never thought you would,
But after last night
you did and you could.

My heart is shattered into pieces
All over the floor,
I thought you would always stand next to me,
But no, you chose others, like before.

When I needed you the most
You sold me out,
Instead of sharing our life
You chose to stay out.

Out with your "friends"
Questionable at best
Out, away from me
It's your casual attitude I detest.

I guess I ask too much
Of your time and your life
You show no concern
And that cuts me like a knife

I don't know what you want
And can't provide what you need
You don't seem to care
If you make my heart bleed.

I've given you my soul
And committed my entire heart
Now I'll pay the price
of  you tearing it all apart.

You say you're sorry
For what you did then
Only to repeat it
Again, and again

Hearing your response
From the night before
You've proven to me
All I am is a chore

Not someone you love,
Someone you adore
But someone who's convenient,
Someone you deplore

So I have come to the realization
that I can't give you what you need.
You have other priorities
That I cannot exceed

The hurt I've felt all through the night,
You said we would be partners forever,
But really meant,
was partners for never.

We have so much to battle
to win the fight today
Will we be strong enough to last,
to live another day?

We have overcome the distance
that separates our lives
And battle the difference of time
that threatens the will to survive.

To complicate what matters
is how we communicate
Can we learn to talk to each other
or will our silence seal our fate?

Yet we have the desire to win
and to do whatever it takes
We will get through this together
we need to for both our sakes

We do love and adore each other
Which is how it should always be
Because I was meant for you
and you were meant for me.

You have brought into this world
two blessings which I adore.
You and them together
combine to be so much more.

They are extensions of your soul
and emulate your heart.
Although separate and distinct
they will never be apart.

Your blood flows through their veins
giving them life, for them to see
You influence there every action
trying to maintain harmony

Among their triumphs in life
and their victories every day.
You will always be their compass
to guide them along the way.

You give your heart and soul
in the hope that it will fill
their fragile tender lives
with the strength and the will.

The will to make right decisions
and the strength to follow them through.
Hoping they will take your guidance
and know just what to do.

You do this every day
not asking anything in return.
Hoping, one day they will achieve
the respect and love they earned.

I dream of you
day after day,
and sleep at night
with my pillow I lay.

Imagining it's you
so close and tender,
Thinking of your caress
and your sweet surrender.

You ask me why
I spend time and treasure,
Darling it's simple
No one can meet your measure.

You are the woman
with just one touch,
Who can release so many emotions
and give me so much.

You answer all my questions
and give freely to me your heart,
Feelings never felt before
and will never, ever part.

You capture my spirit
with your charming wit,
You've completed my search
you're so worth it!

How did we meet
by chance or design
would anyone have thought
one day you would be mine

Looking at faces
from here and from there
suddenly stopping on one
should I chance, should I dare.

You were so far
from me over here
was it wishful thinking
or was it sincere

Before I write down words
committing my feelings
I need to be sure
but your sight sends me reeling

I have to tell you my thoughts
and what my heart feels
Let you know what I think
but it all seems surreal

Yet I chance the moment
and tell you how feel
hoping a message will return
in earnest appeal

Then I received a response
to my great surprise
it was gentle and kind
without a disguise

What was a feeling,
perhaps a hope or desire
became a wonderful  union
of which I will not tire

So was this planned and thought out
this union, you and me
or was it destined and designed
or was it Serendipity

Without you here
My ears can only hear your voice.
My eyes can't see anyone but you
I try to change but simply have no choice.

Without you here
I can only taste your sweet lips.
And smell the fragrance of your body
I try to forget but I simply can't resist.

Without you here
My heart is hollow.
Void of feelings and emotions
I try but can only feel sorrow.

Without you here
I am driven to make a new start.
So we may always be together
and never, ever have to part.
