I asked for your love

I asked you for your love
So you put your heart in my hand
But I held on to tightly
And let it slip away like sand

I meant to catch it before its falling
But the grains were just to small
I pinched up as many as I could
But I had hit a brick wall

I wanted to love you forever
I never wanted for you to leave
I was just to unaware
And without you here I grieve
