December Heartaches

Everlasting…you and I were both from two different worlds
Meeting you was my biggest regret yet
Involving you in my life was another
True to your words you left without a single word

Evening came and so did storm and rain
Hard to let go – I called your name out three times
Terrific! I just lost the love of my life

Looking through past memories, I saw you sitting there
Lamenting sorrowful scenes 
A call from you was all I need

Rumor has it that you went to abroad. Far away. In search for space.  
Every day was torment
Beautiful memories sprung from here to there 
Managing well was far from reality
Enough to blow a whole house down
Creating walls around me 
Even family members couldn’t get in
Doom awaited me and so, I came late

Out to college, I’ve always had my fantasies about men
True enough that I was lying, I gave up space. 

Knowledge of you coming back had me back up my feet. 
Caring for you was all I realized 
About to give in 
But then reality settled in
