Long Lost Love

I used to get nervous around you

My heart would skip a beat

My palms would sweat

An uncontrollable shaking of my feet

 

Your laugh would ring in my ears

I would get lost in your stare

When you kissed me time would stop

With you, I had no cares

 

You used to say you’d love me forever

And I would surely agree

But what changed between us

What brought along this misery

 

The spot where you should be

Is empty but that emptiness follows me

 

I look at my hand

Your fingers aren’t interlaced

But when I close my eyes

I can still see your face

 

My heart is filled with love

Love that’s only for you

But my brain was selfish

And told me I had to choose

 

Confusion filled my mind

I didn't know what to do

I guess I was bored

And wanted to try something new

 

But now that I’ve grown, I've realized

That your love, is the only love I’ve ever known
