Memories

You left me so quick yet so long ago
My heart still aches without you by me
You didn’t have to stoop so low
You held our lock and I held our key

We were supposed to live happily ever after
Forever, side by side and hand in hand
Every single day we shared the most beautiful laughter
I was most wrong when I thought we could withstand

My heart aches to this day
You know how hard it breaks
Our love wasn’t a game; there was no need to play
I held all I had on the stakes

All I have now is hopeless memories
You’re gone with the current of the wind
I have no pictures, no joy or accessories
The light of my life has so greatly dimmed
