False Hope

It really took along time,
To let everything go.
Realizing I'd be ok,
Another girl would fill the hole.

You were so very beautiful,
But it was more than skin deep.
I loved you more than life,
Had dreams of you when I sleep.

Wind it blows the leaves,
Memories fade away.
The more that I deny,
The girl I want to stay.

I look at old photos,
A tear falls from my eye.
There's nothing left to do,
Cause every way I've tried.

You never miss a good thing,
Till you know its gone.
I should have listened to this,
Listened to it all along.

A fool for really believing,
My first love would really last.
She slipped between my fingers,
And now she's in my past.

I want to try to believe,
That this girl will return.
And light the fire in my heart,
That at one point did burn.

What's the point of wishing,
Nothing ever comes true.
Cause if my wishes were granted,
I'd be side by side with you.
