I Thought We'd Grow Old Together


I loved you with all I had,

And you made my life worth living,

I was sure that we would last,

But obviously I was wrong.

I loved you with all I had,

But I wasn’t enough.

I couldn’t stop the storm

It threw you far away

And left me here alone.

I sit and wonder,

Everyday,

Will I ever love again?

Can I ever love again?

I think I can, but then again,

I thought we’d grow old together too.

I am a high school student at a small school, I've been through a lot so far throughout my life, but there are three things that I normally write about: I write about the depression that I battle every day and often lose to, and I write about the two women that I've fallen in love with, both of which left, and I'm never going to see either one again. If you like my writings, please e-mail me at [email protected]. It helps to know when people enjoy or relate to the things that I write.
