Moonlights Mysterious Enchanting Embrace

Tonight
That damn moonlight so mysteriously and enchantingly bright
As it dances in and out
All about
And peeks in between and around
The night skies dark clouds
With it’s mesmerizing embrace
Taking me right back to that place
Where all I can clearly see is your face
It’s tugging on my hearts strings once again
Just when I thought, I could move on, your memory pulls me back in
It’s a game I can’t win
And yet it never seems to ever completely end
What I feel for you is so not pretend
For you I would let myself be completely captured and drown in my desire
I would be devotedly consumed and raptured by your merciful fire
I’ve tried very hard, over and over, but I can’t seem to let you go
You’re that intense endless ache so deep inside my soul
Yet I understand, yeah I know
I have to try yet again
I have to give this another shot and push hard to win
I will keep your memory safe always inside my heart
Even if at times, recalling our moments together tears it apart
I have to do this for myself, I need to have that fresh start
Because I can’t keep hoping that someday, you’ll come to see
There’s a piece of you that will forever be
Right here with only me
I will hold that piece of you sacredly with all I am and with all I can and will be
And I believe that you will never again be able to find or meet no one quite like me
Which is why, in my eyes, your memory won’t let me move on, you somehow believe I 
would just sit here and wait
Baby you need to quickly open your eyes and then you would clearly see, in this moment, 
you might be too late
I long for someone to love me for me and for how and what I am
That special guy who sees me, and still don’t give a damn
No matter how big or small, short or tall, yet through it all by my side will stand
Just like you once had done
And you could be here now had you not turned, and from your fears and demons, run
But what’s done is done, and it’s in the past
For now you keep on thinking we weren’t meant to last
Now I keep on trying
To force down tears that need crying
But going forward still with my life
Even if what keeps coming is pain, heartache, and strife
You I can never forget
But the times with you, I’ll never regret
No matter how much I may bleed 
I need to find a man I will forever want, and want to have a man I will always need
…I will always and forever love you so
But somehow, someway I have to once and for all find a way to let you go
