When You Were Gone

by Shalisa   Jul 6, 2005


Too many wishes that the past was not real
Too many hard times for my broken heart to heal
Too many needs that will never be met
Too many years ahead to live a life of regret.

Too much love to hold deep inside my soul
Too much pain to have the slightest bit of control
Too much to give instead of keeping it deep down
Too much to smile about to keep this constant frown.

…But…

How could you break my heart and not even shed a tear
How could you have whispered those I love you’s in my ear
How could you tell me that you wanted a break
How could you say that it was just for my sake
How did you sleep at night knowing I was crying
How could you go about your day, when I was almost dying
How could you be with someone else so fast
How could you tell me that we would always last?

Why did you leave me all on my own
Why did you erase the love that I had shown
Why did you feel the way you felt
Why did you tell me that I made your heart melt
Why didn’t you care that I was completely torn apart
Why did you think that I could mend my heart
Why didn’t you see that I couldn’t bear the pain
Why did you throw me out into the freezing rain
Why did you turn my soul mean and cold
Why did you think that we could put our love on “hold?”

4 months of pain, torture, and a bleeding soul
4 months of being insane, suicidal, and crazy beyond my control
4 months of cutting, crying, and missing the things you do
4 months of realizing how much I love you

So now that your back I’m ready to forget and move on
It was hard enough before, the times you were gone
I’m accepting that we both put each other through hell
But now we are crazy in love, and we both can tell.

I love you baby, I always have and will,
Even if sometimes I say that it hurts still.
Any kind of pain is worth it if I have you,
Because my love is unconditional, so pure and true.

I’m so excited for what lies ahead with us
A relationship built on love, friendship, and trust
I’m glad that your back, forever this time,
Now lets let our love continue to grow and shine.

I love you Michael
