I never thought
I could feel what
I felt for you
I could not describe it
with words,
some called it Love

I never thought
you could cause me
so much pain and hurt
the way you did

I never thought
I could find so much
happiness, thru your smile
so contagious, so alive

I never thought
that one day
your fake smile
will erase the happiness
from my face and heart

I never thought
a woman could change
my world in such a way
we created a paradise

I never thought
that you could destroy
my world, the way you did
there is nothing left

I never thought
that in my
search for love
I will also find
so much hurt
you made me
believe in love
then, you broke
my heart
in pieces, and
walked away

Without you
there is an emptiness
in my heart,
that you left
when you said
goodbye

Without you
there is a missing
star in the sky,
the one that used
to shine when
we lied down on
the grass talking
about anything

Without you
the sunny days
are just days
they don't
feel the same
I don't know if
they will ever
come back to
feel the way
they felt with you

Without you
the roses don't have
the smell you
used to loved
is gone, and
I don't know
how to get it back

Without you
my life has
taken a turn
I was not expecting
I was not prepared for
and it really hurts

Without you
everything changed
I had cried and
looked back
where we went wrong
all I know is that
without you
my life will never be
the same again

We were two broken souls
that met in the darkest night
forgot about the pain
in their own hearts and
took a chance at love
one more time.

We were two dreamers
that never saw the red flags
we only saw what we wanted
love, happiness and the stars,
we thought we could win
because this was our time
how naive of us

First we laughed at the chaos
we created in our lives
then we walked away
as if, we hated each other
for not being able to bring
love and happiness to our lives.

In the end, nothing changed
we were two broken souls
that met in the darkest night
we gave our best shot at love
but our pain was greater
we truly never had a chance..

Where do we go from here?
now that our hearts
don't beat to the same rhythm
now that our souls
are walking at their
own pace

Where do we go from here?
now that our dreams
of together have died
and our thoughts don't
Include each other anymore

Where do we go from here?
there are no more roses
in our garden of love and
the singing birds do not
sing our love song


Where do we go from here?
most likely to a world
right before we met,
right before the first kiss,
right before we made love

Where do we go from here?
maybe to a healing place
where our hearts could rest
and rebuild for what is next

The day that everything changed for me,
was the day you looked deep into my eyes
saw my soul and my dreams

the day that everything changed for me,
you extended your hands and
pull me out of the  
darkness I lived in,
to a beautiful and
sunny day just for me

the day that everything changed your me,
our lips created an unforgettable kiss like I always wanted to feel

the day that everything changed for me
you destroyed my demons
and set me free, forever
I know they don't understand
what you mean to me

the day that everything
changed for me, was when
you walked into my life
gave me a reason and
didn't let me quit...

I wish you
were here
so, you could
see how
beautiful is
this place
the sun light
can touch
the ends of
your soul

I wish you
were here
the sky is filled
with the
brightest of stars,
is like
if they want
the moon
to shine its
brightest night

I wish you
were here
the ocean is
so clear
you can see
the fish
happy swimming
away
leaving heart
shape
bubbles of air..

I wish you
were here
so, we could
experience
this magic
together but,
the universe
is telling us
is not our
time or place

Here I am again
in this place that
I don't recognize
in this quiet room
with an empty bed

Here I am again
seeing my dreams
all so far away
like someone
took them
and run with them

I try to make sense
of all of this,
but my mirror
laughs back at me,
I guess it doesn't
know how much
all of this hurts,
but is OK

I rebound from worst
some left me for dead,
but the fighter in me
won't give up
because he knows, that my
kingdom is not far from here
