Finally

As the years quickly passed You and I both grew up We slowly drifted apart I never told you back then But years ago you stole my heart I never told you how I felt Or just how much I cared But I realized that I loved you The day you weren’t there Your mother said, you went off to school But you never said, goodbye Maybe that’s a good thing When you left, I probably would have cried But here we are now so many years behind us I look at you and still feel the same I can’t help but think how our lives would have been If you and I hadn’t played those silly games I know I should have told you What I felt inside I should have let my love show But instead I let it hide You look at me and call me a fool I ask, what do you mean She replied that I came back To fulfill a life long dream She said, years ago, I loved you so But I couldn’t let my love show She said, I thought if I went away My love for you would never grow But it seems the longer I stayed away My love for you did in fact grow So I came back to tell you Because I thought you should know So now I’m here and I want you I won’t lose you a second time We stood there looking at each other In the distance the church bells chimed Hand in hand we walked away Finishing something that started years ago I’ll hold on to her forever I’ll never let her love go 9-1-05/RJH
