When we met we shared a dream
We wanted to meet the world head-on
My heart on my sleeve, or so it seemed
We crashed into reality, and the world won
We shared a tree, sat in its bough
The contentment we felt, changed my life
Comparing my life, to what you have been through
Let us face it together, please be my wife
Through turmoil and disaster we carried on
Haunted by vindictiveness as we tried to be one
You reflected that I had a spiritual soul
Without you near me, I’m much less then whole
You taught me to feel, raw emotions on edge
A precarious challenge, teetering on a thin ledge
A direction in life, revealed to me now
After all these years, I finally know how
But life can be funny, as plans come apart
My life in disarray as I gave you my heart
Fears realized as I reflect on the issues
Gut retching tears, then I ran out of tissues
I am an island now, alone at sea
I agree whole heartedly, it is so hard to be me
Gentle and cruel as life has taught
Love and happiness, is all that I sought
Adversity builds strength if you allow it too
Deepens our roots, so we can deal with the pain
For my heart still weeps, in my loss of you
Will I ever see my true love again
