So close together
As the fire burns
Both in their hearts and
While the ashes turn.
So perfect, and flawless
This love sure seemed.
Everything he'd imagined,
Everything he'd dreamed.
Her beautiful green eyes
Gazing into his
It was real love now
He knew it, sheer bliss.
He'd been called away
On a trip but to return home
Little did he ever think
That she wouldn't be alone
His sweetheart shocked
To hear a knock on their door
In a hurry, they picked up their clothes
Off of the bedroom floor
Wrapped up in that same blanket
That she'd, for him, stitched with "love"
He couldn't believe what his eyes had shown him
Words escaped him, as if his breath wasn't enough
He walked into the room
And asked her, as the tears fell
"Where did I go wrong?
How did I end up in hell...?"
No tape or thread
Would fix this boy's heart
There was always that notion
That never, would they be apart.
Once his hopes had been shattered
And stolen, was every dream...
The last tear fell
As he stumbled for the ring
A proposal seemed clich.
A bit "out of the question" now
He couldn't help but wonder why
And constantly think about, how?
"I loved you, baby..."
He began the solemn letter,
"You took another man
Was it because he was better?"
I tried to be your everything,
I gave you all I could give...
Since when was my heart not enough?
Without you, I just can't seem to live."
He continued the note to his lost love
As the bitter tears kissed his lips
One by one, falling to the paper
As he struggled to come to grips.
"It's over now
Don't bother coming home
I won't be waiting for you,
And I know you won\'t be alone."
I don't understand how
Or why at all, you'd do this to me
What happened to the love we shared?
It's as if it's just up and gone...
And to you, vanished into thin air.
You broke my heart
There's just nothing left anymore
What's the point, dear?
I'll show myself the front door.
This is the last time you'll hear from me
Don't worry yourself, I speak the truth
I don't expect that you'd care...
Just remember that I really loved you.
I can't stand my heart anymore
Not in the condition it's in
You broke it too badly
I never want to suffer this again.
Also, please remember
I owe all credits to you.
The broken heart, the lies and tears
And never telling the truth
What a brilliant plan you had
Too bad it ended in strife
Ill be missing you my darling
Missing you, my life."
Sealing the note at last
With only a stamp and a kiss
He robbed himself of his last breath
as he wondered how it'd come to this.
