Real Love
I'm picturing a perfect love between you and I,
I'll fall in love with hopes to high.
Every night when I go to sleep,
I feel a pain that makes me cry and weep.
I know your leaving,
And my heart is left winding and weaving.
Your about to walk out of our door,
And with the slam of it closing I fall to the floor.
An anniversary of a pain I felt so long ago,
I remember the tears, so unstoppable at a rapid flow.
I remember the pain they saw in my eyes,
And I know how long it took for my happiness to rise.
So I built this solid wall,
To keep the ones I loved away, I wouldn't let it fall.
This love of ours had my mind tangled and tied,
After this is over A piece of me will have died.
So as I close my eyes to breathe, to think,
The chain of my life seems to be missing a link.
It's as if I can see,
What's coming in the future for me?
I know that I want to see your face there,
We'll enjoy our lives and fly high without a care.
But I know that I'm on my way,
To find happiness that is in my life to stay.
So into the future I try to stare,
I realize a love like ours will not be there.
I have to let you go,
It's over and we both know.
I'll be left in tears,
Left alone to face my inner fears.
This was a real love between you and I.
So now it's time to set it free to fly...
"Real love does esxit, you just have to be open to finding it"
