Today I woke up
to a cloudy and dark sky
I went to my garden
something was wrong
the beautiful flower's
petals were closed
her fragrance and color
also gone, my heart hurts.

She was love and light
to many now,
God has called her
to a higher mission in
Heaven to beautify
the gardens there.

I pulled the rose
from the ground
and put it in a resting place
her soul can now
fly to Heaven
and make God's garden as
beautiful and  lovely as
she made our garden here.....

After all was said
and done
they forgot about me
they forgot about my pain
my tears, my
broken dreams
my broken heart, my hurt

was it my strong exterior?, or
maybe they just
didn't care
they left me on the floor
bleeding, ready to end
my days

they forgot that I am a warrior
I healed my wound
and pain
little by little
I stood up and  
started to walk again

I learned to love me and
put myself first, is funny
how surprised they look
they know my
time is here

It was you, the one
who won my heart
the minute
I kissed your lips
and we couldn't
break apart
I took you
home with me
married you and
we started
our new life,
full of love
full of dreams and
endless nights

It was you, the one
with the white
picked fence
we built the home
we never had
that was life,
it felt amazing
for the first time
I felt loved
many years went by
full of love
then one dark day
life took
its shot and
our love cracked
everything was destroyed
what a painful time...

It was you, the one
one morning you left
you found
someone else
and destroyed
what we had
you broke my  
heart in pieces
I never thought you
could hurt me
this bad
that day I lost the
most beautiful dream
I ever had

It was you, the one
years went by,
we met again
What happened?,
Why are you crying?
life didn't go as planned
you are heartbroken
and sad 
I haven't found
real love
I haven't felt what
I felt for you
is weird how life works, but
here we are,
you and me
only God knows
the answer
was it you, the one?
