lonely without you

My love for you was like the stars
No matter how much it shone
I always knew it wasn’t enough
To have a happily forever.

We both were from different paths
We had different lifestyles, tastes
But I still loved you with everything
Though I knew it was in vain.

You were always so near me
Yet so far away from my reach
Even though you returned my love
Destiny always kept us apart.

I always wanted to say those words
The three words, ‘Don’t leave me’
But I never got a chance to do so
Had to carry that regret all my life.

I knew love was painful and beautiful
But our love was only painful to us
So we had to break it up for us
To go in our own separate paths.

I couldn’t stay next to you and see
All your success and your defeats
But my prayers were always for you
Even though I couldn’t be your support.

We both had different dreams and wishes
Our love was the only thing in our way
So we chose what was best for us
But I still wanted to be by your side.

Every moment we were apart I always
Wished to go back to that day, the day
I said goodbye and thought I was free
And realized I was wrong the next moment.

Even though I wanted to stop you I couldn’t
From walking away from me that day
But the moment I saw your clenched fists
I knew that our feelings were the same.


Our dreams were too important to us
We came a long way to live up to it
So we never realized it that dreams
Never are pretty until your heart is.

Now a lot of many sad years passed
I had become who I wanted to be
And you are what you wanted to be
But there only are empty seats next to us.

The memories I thought I forgot
The times which I spent near you
Were my own sweet lullabies
The happiest times of my life.

Even now I swear our love was true
Though I buried my feelings deep
That only nothing but hurt remains as
The pain is the only thing that connects us.

With a painful heart I threw away everything
With nothing but my feelings for you
I went to the place where we met long ago, only
To find you waiting for me with your hand held out.
