My Last Thoughts of You

I tried so hard to hold you,
to make you my best friend.
My thoughts were always of you,
my love was not pretend.
You gave so much when we began
and did so willingly.
You offered love and faith and trust
and strong belief in me.
We'd talk into the late of night
and find another day.
The sun would rise before us
and brightly light our way.
We'd share those passing moments
with laughter and a smile
and if some hurt befell us
it would only last awhile.
The world could crumble all around
yet, somehow we'd be strong.
Admittedly, you were the rock
when everything went wrong.
When the dust had cleared
and the clouds had blown away,
you and I were standing firm
to face another day.
But then the ultimate disgrace,
our bond of love did break
and through the red of anger
seemed an unforgivable mistake.
Different views; both of us right
as we each sang our own song.
So if that's true how can it be
our love has gone so wrong.
Now we pass, our eyes don't meet
our passion isn't felt.
And those around us notice, though
they know not what was dealt.
I long for you each second
as the minutes drag on by
and the hours that are passing
bring more teardrops to my eyes.
Remembering the love I've had
from the day that we first met,
will last throughout my lifetime
and will be without regret.
If the day shall ever come
allowing us repair,
I'll be there waiting, open arms
with hope that you still care.
We both are hurt, this much is true
and if this all must end?
Then I have lost not just my love
but my companion and best friend.
