all we have is ...

all we have is …

I didn't want to bring you down

watch you drown

in an ocean of your own tears

I should have stayed away

should never have preyed

on your emotions or your fears

That was not fair of me

I did not want to fall in love

and Lord knows; above

that I tried to stay away from you

But the feelings continued to grow

I fought them, even though

I knew them to be heartfelt true

But I still should have let you be

We both knew we never could

that we never should

have even tried to be as one

We were doomed from the start

even our loving hearts

knew this love affair was done

We would never be accepted

I never wanted to see you cry

your spirit break and die

and tears fall like the rain

Now I must walk away from you

it is all I can do

so to not cause you more sorrow and pain

I know you must feel rejected

It is not you

believe me when I say

I love you so much

and if there was another way

I would try and try

But look around you

no one gave us a chance

they just saw who we were

not our loving romance

now all we have is good bye
