Pieces of the past

My days are long, my nights are cold

Without you here for me to hold.

The moment we kissed, I knew it was right

To love you and want you with all of my might.

The hopes that we shared, the dreams that we dreamt

Then you turned around and said nothing was meant.

The memories we've got, the joy and the pain

Are finished, forgotten - you wont try again.

You said that you care, that's no longer enough

So you just up and leave - the woman that I love.

You want to be free, to chat up with the boys,

The tall ones, the short ones, the blacks and the whites.

You never told me these things you were feeling

You've broken my heart and I cant see it healing.

I hope that you're happy in all that you do

That my pain and my hurt YOU never go through.

You weren't just my love but my best friend as well.

I gave you my all when in love I fell.

If I meet someone else, and I'm not sure I will

This hole in my heart she never can fill.

With you all my dreams looked like coming true

You've robbed me of those, what can I now do?

You said that you loved me, that we should get wed.

We then bought a house, new kitchen and bed.

But now its all over, you want me no more

Swept out of your life like the dust on the floor.

If you want to re-live the great times we had,

Just give me a ring, I'll be only too glad.
