Love Lost

I tell myself each night
before I sleep, not to cry.
Pinning for love lost,
not believing it's now not mine.

Tears won't stop flowing,
the heart won't stop aching.
Hey, are you a man or a weakling?!
I don't know, because the heart's not telling.

I had love you
more than life itself.
I had missed you
more than anything else.
So am I just dreaming
or has caring and loving remained memories,
like forsaken pictures on the shelf?

Time may tell me you were right;
leaving behind our love so sweet,
basking in such glorious light.
But for now and forever too,
my heart's dying, losing the will to fight.

Do what you must,
you always know what's best for you.
I will still love you just the same,
and miss you until my flesh turns to dust.
