Lost Love

To my first love,

Who was as pure as a dove.

Man why am I so sad

It's really driving me mad.

I thought I had it all figured out

But now my head is full of doubts.

I couldn't wait to see the baby

Possibly been it's Uncle maybe.

We could have had a good life

And you would have been my amazing wife.

But distance brought along change

And our lives started to rearrange.

I always made accusations

Without them ever having justification.

That's when the relationship derailed

And then finally you bailed.

Now I'm not even allowed to talk to you

Because of the rule accredited to your boo.

We used to be best friends

But I guess they are right... everything good comes to an end.

I shouldn't even feel this way

Maybe it's because I don't pray.

Or maybe it's because I messed it up

And you don't want to be reminded of me... oh so corrupt.

Or maybe it's because he is scared

Because of all the years we shared.

But that doesn't matter anymore

Because you already walked out the door.

Never to return

Forever my soul to burn.

All I want to do is say hi

But I know it has already ended with a good bye.

I guess all I'm trying to say is that I miss you a lot

But then again by now you have already forgot.

It's been awhile

Still hard as ever to fake a smile.

To add to it I just went through memory lane

Kinda crazy as it amounted to all this pain.

Just seeing your smile

Hurt more than running 5,000 miles.

From the plan

Which was for me to be your man.

Forever

But now it's a never.

How can I still live like this

When all I want is your familiar kiss.

I don't even think you know what I'm going through

But maybe you do.

You used to have countless number of nights

When all we did was fight.

You would cry

And I would threaten with a bye.

Now that I look back

And see the loved that I lacked.

I realize you weren't wrong

Because you were treated poorly for so long.

I know it is tough to relive

But at this point I just want you to forgive.

Sincerely,

The Lost One
