My Everything

I loved you always,
With every ounce of my heart.
I honestly thought
That true love we would start.

You looked me in the eyes,
With your perfect gaze.
The world was melting around me
As i fell into a daze.

We had always been friends
And the stage had been set.
Every word that you said,
I could never forget.

I had never loved a person
To such an extreme length.
You were the reason I got out of bed,
Giving me my daily strength.

Everything I cared about,
And my ever wondering thought.
This was nothing new,
My everything was you.

The only path I would venture,
The one that shined so bright.
I was then so sure
That you and I were right.

Things slowly changed,
Past feelings were new.
They slowly crept up,
And bigger they grew.

Answers that I knew
Suddenly turned to questions.
I didn't know what to do,
I couldn't ruin something so precious.

Turning in denial,
And running from the truth.
She couldn't go back,
I wanted proof.

Proof was what I found
As I talked on the phone.
My world came crashing down,
I can't accept this, I won't.

Trying to hold this back
As I sat in my bed.
Reality came flooding in,
So many tears were shed.

This had to be a dream,
How could this be right.
She was the air I needed to breathe,
I loved her with all my might.

I'll never move on,
Her image will always be there.
For her, I'll always long,
As my heart continues to tear.

My mind is still on you
And everything you do.
I'm hoping you can see
That we are meant to be.

So when I see that shooting star,
Streaking from afar,
I'll wish to be with you again,
And remember all that we've been.
