Secret Love Unforgotten

Life's brought me to a happy place,
I know it's what God has planned,
At times life's steps I retrace,
Because your memory is not banned.

I see your face in the empty air,
I hear your voice in the silence,
Even though you are not there,
I still feel your ghostly presence.

Here to haunt me you have come,
Or from my heart you never parted,
Though our time has long been done,
Feels like our love has just started.

The dreams wake the deepest sleep,
Fantasies consume my every thought,
Our memories I will always keep,
Love like this cannot be bought.

I do not know where your life led,
Or where you are upon this earth,
But when you left my heart bled,
Starting life over like at birth.

I call everyone by your first name,
And I can still feel your touch,
New love can never be the same,
Because I love you very much.

With Tears Come A Smile

The tears well up in my eyes,
My heart aches from the loss,
I ask myself a hundred whys,
How much does love really cost.

I walked away from what I knew,
The bitterness hatred fear and pain,
What more was I supposed to do,
Love and attention I could not gain.

I know my life will now get better,
I'm stronger and wiser from this test,
Harder times I now can weather,
The love I'll have will be the best.

Someone to hold through all the night,
That won't let go or turn their back,
Everything we'll have will feel so right,
Perfection and love we will not lack.

One day I'll look back and finally say,
I hurt that time and thought the worst,
I never thought that I'd see today,
Because I thought my life was cursed.

But here I'm holding her so tight,
Hand in hand walked many a mile,
And now everything feels just right,
Because with tears come a smile.
