Took you

I was 10 and you were 12
Running and hiding
Painting pictures in the sky
Swinging on the tree
Running and screaming
Being the kids our parents let us be
Then I turned 17 I was not the same
Little girl you used to see
We hungout by the lake
Still painting picture in the sky
Holding hands
Dared you to kiss me
Then ran when you tried.
Then this day came
That the sun faded away
And you left me at those rusty gates
Alone with no one by myside
You always promised you'd never leave
But as you left and waved goodbye
Those boots that hung by your side
Looked like the last goodbye.
Days turned to weeks
And weeks turned into months
Days and days weeks to week
Months to months
and Only one letter from you...
You told me you loved me
That you cried when you left
You wanted to run and pick me up
Swing me around till the day faded into night
You told me you would come home safe and sound
That we would have the most incredible wedding ever
My heart faded

Here I am sitting at 20
Here I am at 20
Surrounded by my friends
Surrounded by your friends
Surrounded by your family
All I can think about was the days you held me
Painting pictures in the sky
Shots go off
I jump and scream
Everyone giggles
But I am nothing without you!
Take me back to the days
when love was all we knew
Take me back to the days
When pictures and dares were all we knew
Take me back to the days when
You told me you would never leave.
Cause Here I am alone
With people souting out numbers
Family sobbing
Then there is me no emotions at all
only a blank face
Cause I love you
and the war took you from me.
