Desired love

Have you ever lost something that you never really had?
It tears at your heart and you feel so bad
Like mist in your hands slipping through your grasp
And the pain inside seems to last and last

My rainbow of joy was a bolt out of the blue
It was all such fun, it was exciting and new
Amazing really, how quickly things change
Cupid's arrow is firmly in range!

Feeling excited with a snatched moment of time
Treading very carefully - don't cross that line
But finding it so hard when you feel that emotion
Too late; you've drunk the magic potion.

You've let yourself go and you feel so alive
Aching for more - you feel you can't survive
Soft words are spoken and suggestions of intent
Your hopes are raised and messages are sent

You let your heart fly and dream of the future
A dream unfulfilled - it ends in torture
For what you thought you had can never be real
Back to reality and the humdrum wheel

Dreams snatched away as quick as they are formed
Of a future shared that never quite dawned
A stunning, wonderful, beautiful treasure
Never been mine and nor will it ever

Have you ever lost something that you never even had?
It tears at your heart and you feel so bad
Like mist in your hands slipping through your grasp
And the pain inside seems to last and last

AND LAST.................
