The Love I lost to Life
I dream of you in shadows deep,
In quiet moments where I weep,
For all the love we could have known,
Had life not claimed my heart as stone.
I loved you then, I love you still,
But duty bound my wandering will.
I walked the path I could not flee, And left our dreams beneath the sea.
Your voice, it echoes in my mind,
A distant song I cannot find.
I feel your touch in empty air, A ghost of love that isn’t there.
The weight of family pressed me down, To wear another kind of crown.
I chose the road I had to take, And broke my heart for others’ sake.
Yet in the quiet of the night, I long to hold you, hold you tight.
To whisper words we never said, And breathe the life we left for dead.
I see your face in every star, A light I chased but couldn’t spar.
The ties that held me kept us wide, Two worlds apart, two souls denied.
Forgive the man I couldn’t be,Who loved you more than you could see.
For in my heart, you’ll always stay, A love too deep to fade away.
