he was like
a shadow in the night
as quickly as he came
he left
met by chance
loved by choice
made me feel
like I was flying
like a bird
so calm
so free
the love I had
was the kind that should be
he told me
time and time again
I was the only one
he wanted
he dreamed of
he searched his whole life for
my intentions were real
went beyond
what I could ever imagine
I reveled in his love
that he made known
I could do no wrong
in his eyes
gained the confidence
I've longed for
then the cold night
dead in the middle of March
he left
like a mirage
he vanished
his love left with him
I could no longer feel
numb
is the right word
couldn't think
couldn't act
couldn't move
still all these months later
I miss what we had
you were gone too soon
never to hear
never to see
you again
if life were like a movie
we'd be together
the fairy tale
that all girls imagine
I would get on that flight
go to you
and make you mine
again.
