The last leaf has fallen

The last leaf has fallen
Announcing autumn's end
I can't believe it's been that long
Since we stopped being friends

It was this time last year
That our friendship became something more
You looked deep into my eyes
And told me I was the only one you adore

Now, eyes glistening with tears
You're no longer by my side
I sit here all alone
Watching as the world pass by

Distant memories are all that's left
No longer your voice I hear
No longer your touch I feel
All this pain and hurt I no longer can bear

I would do anything to have one last moment
To be in your arms again
But that dream will never be fulfilled
No matter how hard I strain

Somewhere above you are looking down on me
Watching as my life fall apart
It pains you to see me like this
But I do not want a new start

Praying that each night is the end
I no longer have a purpose to wake each day
Hoping that each breathe may be my last
But I know you do not want to see me this way

But the promise to you
I shall keep and never break
You wished for me to live my life with love
And for you I will but my heart will still ache
