The Love We Shared

I looked at you, looked in your eyes.
They were like a clear, blue summer sky.
They embraced me as they had a thousand times before,
but this time was different, as they looked deep into the core,
the core of my being, and it was then that I knew,
you are leaving me, and now we are through.

What can I do to change your mind?
Do you remember when we used to find
that the love we shared was so true and real?
That no one else had the power to steal
what we had that was so great--
we could find it again before it's too late.

I'd hoped that you and I could be
with each other till the end of me.
But now I've opened up my eyes,
to the thought that now I will die
without you by my side to help me through
all of life's sorrows that aren't so few.

I've always loved you, but now I see
that your love is not the same for me.
So farewell my love, and I wish for you
All of life's blessings and a love that's true.
