Remebrance of Love

I remember a time, before I was hurt,
Before the flame of love was burnt-
out. Now I sit here and cry,
Wondering why our love had to die.

We fell in love, and were for a while,
Until my family came in, and went the extra mile,
Trying to break us up, because they didn't like you,
They didn't care about all they put me through.

They didn't like the way you dressed,
They said that of you I was obsessed.
They said you changed me, and they were right,
It's because of you, I cry at night.

If I'd never met you, I'd still be the same,
Where I was smiley and giggly, and everyone knew my name.
Now, I sit here, dying my hair darker each day,
As the sunny skies in my mind went to gray.

If I'd never met you, my dad would still love me,
My mom would have my trust, and I'd be happy.
They said you were bad to me, when you only showed love,
Made me feel like I was so much farther above.

But they took my phone, said no more he,
Blocked all ways of talking, now I talk to you rarely.
They said to never speak to you again,
To stop talking to my best friend.

Now I sit here, after 9 lonely months, thinking,
Thought my feelings for you was over, as I hide my tears by blinking.
If I'd never loved you, I could sit being happy,
But instead I write sadness, nothing sweet and sappy.

How could my family betray me, after all we been through,
I broke up with you, yet all trust and love said ado.
I broke up with you, so they'd love me again,
Yet they still don't, I lost you, and them...
