Lost you

Lost you

And the rain keeps falling, just like the tears I cry,

For the ghost of your laughter, a love that had to die.

This empty space beside me, a constant, aching chill,

You took the warmth with you, and left me here standing still.

If only I had known then, what I know now today,

I'd have held you closer, wouldn't have pushed you away.

Now I'm left with echoes, of words I didn't say,

And a heart that's breaking, with every passing day.

You swore you'd never leave me, a promise whispered low,

But your love was a fragile thing, a seed that wouldn't grow.

Now I'm picking up the pieces, scattered on the ground,

Of a love that shattered, without a single sound.

If only I had known then, what I know now today,

I'd have held you closer, wouldn't have pushed you away.

Now I'm left with echoes, of words I didn't say,

And a heart that's breaking, with every passing day.

I'm trying to forget you, but your memory won't fade,

Every street, every corner, a love that we once made.

And I know I have to move on, but the pain just won't subside,

Left with a broken heart, that I can no longer hide.
