When November Fails

The rain is falling slowly, making a rhythmic sound -
Reminding me, sadly, that you're just not around.
The pain, it burns, ripping a hole in my heart;
I just can't stand the fact that we are now apart.

Three times a charm; the last one, a burden -
Your picture reminds me how much I'm really hurting.
I thought that you had loved me, but I guess you lied,
As my pillow catches all the tears my big green eyes have cried.

I thought that you were different, I thought that you had cared -
But I guess my naivety was too blatant there.
Crushed, I broke, fell to pieces on the floor -
I felt I could never amount to anything anymore.

Sure, we had our moments, I remember each one -
And I can even admit that we did have some fun.
I remember the time I cried with you, when you promised me:
That no matter what happened, together is where we'd be.

Your hand could fit mine so perfectly, in each way -
My love for you grew stronger with each passing day.
I loved you for who you were, but I guess it was short-lived;
Even though you broke my heart, I could somehow manage to forgive.

Your big green eyes captured me, and now they won't let go -
My heart is begging for the love that you used to show.
No more cute little kisses on all that stolen time -
No longer will I ever be able to ever call you mine.

No more protective arms to keep me out of the cold;
No more notes or teddy bears to have or to hold.
I know we could've been great, I know we could've been it;
But the fact that you're gone is just too hard to admit.

You may never understand me and you probably never will -
There'll always be a place in my heart that no one but you could fill.
So I try to drown out the pitter-patter with no avail -
As I finally realized it hurts When November Fails.
