Love Left Behind

There was once a time
When I was so close
I was so in love
With a woman
We were going to spend forever together
But time took it's toll
On my mind
I thought to myself
How would I?
Why should I?
And could I?
Even if I tried

I thought we were not meant to be
She was not the one
I saw so many problems
With how she looked
How she acted 
How she she spoke
And how she thought
I left the years we had behind

Now I look to the past
To see what I left behind
And I think to myself

Why did I want this time apart
I have been a man who stands on his own
Spending this time alone
Now seeing that I was a fool
When I look at her picture
She looks so beautiful
And thinking of when she spoke
I hear her voice in my head
And what she said sends shivers down my spine
How could it be that she was once mine 
We could I have been married
But I was just a foolish man
Who was to scared
To spend my life to someone else

Now when I look to the stars at night
I want to reach up and get one for her
But after so many years 
And so many times that I broke her heart
She chose to move on
When I saw her with  another man 
I just wanted to die inside
I know the reason that we're not together
And it's all my fault
