The way things were

Nothing describes how much I loved you,
The one true time that I hold on to.

You may have left, but the memories are clear,
The things that are in my mind just like you, my dear.

All the things I said and did I regret
Why can’t things still be like just when we met.

The days when your arms were around me tight,
Are the things that fill my dreams at night.

You were there to fight away all my fears,
And your hand would be there to brush away all my tears.

Now you’ve gone off to live with her,
But why can't things be the way they were
