no longer me.

Do you know how much I love you?
Do you know how much I care?
Late at night, I close my eyes,
and still see you laying there.

Your hair golden like the sun,
your skin as pale as snow.
I still love you more than I could ever show,
but now you'll never know.

I gave you all I had,
and nothing ever less.
I tried and tried to make things work,
but it ended in a mess.

I dream while I'm awake,
in hopes that you'll come back.
But I know that when I close my eyes,
I'll never have you back.

Love of all my life,
the light that captured my soul -
please come back and fill this empty heart,
to make it once again whole.

These tears keep on flowing,
my emotions aren't hard to see.
I know that you are happier,
looking for someone that isn't me.

Your life you say is better,
living it young, wild, and free -
but we had a love that was meant to last,
and hopefully someday you'll see.

You deserve to be happy,
even if not with me.
My life is getting hard to live,
I just want to be free.

The memories are taking over,
the want is killing me.
This world will know how badly I've hurt,
when I am no longer me.
