Love is like a river
It has to take it’s course
In the case of a river , the sea
In the case of love , a heart
And if the course gets altered
It matters not to me
Because my love will always find
It’s way to a heart like yours.

My reservoir of tears
Ran dry many years ago
A time i cannot forget
But since i got to know you
My eyes again started to tear
They do not shed tears for me
They shed tears for you
Now i tear in laughter
When you say funny things
These are tears of happiness  
That warm my heart within.

Two hearts that once were lost
Found each other at last
It took time to find each other
But their hearts now help forget the past
They both  fought their battles
But they came through intact
Now they hope true love prevails
To make a future that lasts .

Why does love cause me pain
Is it the thought that i will not see her again
Or even hear her lovely voice
Unable to gaze into sparkling eyes
But her smile remains with me
Comforts me every day
Like the memories in my mind
That cause my heart so much pain.

Why do i feel so lonely
No matter where i am
Why do i overthink scenarios
That have not yet entered my life  
I cannot make up my mind
My plan is all over the place
I’m afraid to make the wrong decisions
Afraid of loosing face
No one can help me
I’ve built my wall too high
I cannot accept advice
My mind has no space left

So i’m left to my own decisions
This is getting me down
Timing now takes  over
Not looking forward to the phone call
A call that will put me in a corner
I’ll then have to decide
Do i stay with the past beside me
Or seek a life somewhere else
Never have i felt so lonely
Scared of a future unknown
Can i start again with my memories
This is all i think about
When i cry at night , when i’m all alone .

I feel like s boat that’s slipped it’s  mooring
Drifting slowly out to sea
The one thing that gave me security
Is no longer attached to me
You were my safety, somewhere I felt at ease
What happened for you to untie the knot
Let me go , cast me adrift
Now i am on a journey
Hopefully i’ll find my place
Where i will finally settle
Where i will be at peace

Time will come , it might be now
When you will let me go
But no matter what you do or say
Your memory will stay with me always
A young woman of beauty , and intellect mind
A loving heart and personality so kind
A friend i made on my travels through life
A friend who opened my heart
But you also entered inside
You might leave in person
But my heart will never let go
I tear up as i write this
I don't want you to let me go .
