Ghost of You

From a love drawn beneath,
A heart deeply broken,
Torn and shattered,
My words left to late unspoken,

Before our time was even to start,
My love blossomed by your side,
Til this day your still,
The one who held my heart and soul combined,

The times we laughed,
The times we shared,
I had so many chances,
To show you how much I cared,

You're now lost and gone,
A memory of the past,
Someone who I never wanted,
To loose so fast,

Your eyes still staring into mine,
Your body so close,
A love that's been here so long,
By each passing day it grows,

You've left me behind,
And gone your own way,
But baby I'll wait,
To have you again some day,

As my heart beats forever deprived,
You cannot give what is unknown,
Engraved to my heart your name will stay,
A love that's no ones but my own,

I'll stand and watch as you become strong,
Face life's challenges as you've always done,
I'll be here whenever you need me,
The ghost of you is what I shall be.
