I know all too well what you meant when you said
That at times you didn't care if you died
Those words ripped through my heart as I remembered
Times I felt the same and silently cried
To be lonely when you're not really alone
Tears at the soul while you wish for true love
For a heart to share your life and your dreams with
Many nights I asked "what happened to my life"
Why am I cursed knowing what love should be
Yet I end up with a friend, not a wife
Is there no one in the world to love me?
At times I pondered what my life could have been
What if I could change a moment or two
And sometimes those thoughts of the life denied
Led me to reminiscing about you
How I wished I could recapture youths bold fire
Knowing my whole life lies ahead of me
With you by my side the world would be ours
Then the world changed memories to a dream
I wanted the dream so much more than this life
That sometimes I wouldn't care if I died
If dying meant I lived on in the dream
Of love's sweet embrace everlasting
And now out of the dream and faint memory
You're by my side and the world could be ours
Given a chance for that life of romance
We often wished for upon the same stars
How much better to LIVE our life in the dream
And to know the embrace we so longed for
And whatever life we have left ahead
With you is truly a life to live fo
