Intertwined

When you were once intertwined in my heart I remember that joy and pride immensely You were my soul and you were my counterpart And I loved you, and I needed you intensely Not one day went by that I thought not of you Your image was burnt in my thoughts and my dreams Happiness and your wants is all I did pursue Pleasing you and making you happy, were my themes There were the times when I gave you praise My love for you I wanted to keep and always preserve It was truly love and not infatuation or a phase Whatever I had for you my love, you did deserve I still remember the love and all of its sweetness As though it was yesterday and not those years gone past I was looking for an eternity you were looking for emptiness So now I am all alone, as I will ponder why it did not last But that was the time and that was so very long ago Now I am here alone so what else can I say or do My love it died and then my sorrows did grow Once my heart knew of love, when it was intertwined with you.
