Learning The Hard Way

You gave me a vision of what life was to be,

You showed me the world, what I was to see…

You promised me love, said you’d always be there,

To lend me a hand, to show me you care….

We walked through the days, never rushing our steps,

We cherished our time, for our time was well spent…

But suddenly, you weren’t there by my side,

You were gone forever, but not a tear did I cry…

I walked through the days, by myself all alone,

Cherished our memories, although my anger had grown…

Then one day I thought of you and sighed a bitter sigh,

The long awaited sadness, pierced my heart and then I cried…

I cried for all the empty dreams, that people have these days,

I cried because I had a dream, and then it slipped away…

I cried because a love like ours, was always meant to last,

To endure throughout eternity, the present, the future, the past…

And although I wouldn’t have changed it, in my heart, I know it’s true,

A lesson learned the hard way, was the price of loving you!
