Love Story

I believed in love stories
With fairy-tale walks and waking dreams
With princes and maidens and far-off places
And winning over evil and loving in spite of reason.
I believed in love stories
Until mine ended.

I thought you were my Romeo
And that I was Juliet.
I thought you would come free me
From the hell I was living in.

I believed and wished with all my heart
I’d marry you one day.
But now I know that you and I
Could never steadfast stay.

I believed in love stories
Until mine crashed and burned.
I thought that we could face it all
Until from you I learned

That even hearts with good intent
Will someday fall astray
And when they do their good intent
Will never really stay.

You may have wished to stay with me
But another one changed that.
And now you wish to befriend me
But still I want you back.

I will not ever be content
With what I deem is second best.
You were my one, my love, my heart,
And you were better than the rest.

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously
But maybe, love, I do you wrong
To wish you would long just for me.

My heart has always been tender
And I have always been in love
You seem to understand better
Than others whom I’ve lately loved

That I am different, I am wise.
I wished for naught but a pot of lies.

I thought that I could stay with you
But to my heart I’d not be true
If in your love my heart did dwell
But you, my love, did my heart fell.

And so my love story came to end
And so I no longer believe in them.
I fall in love, but no love stories
can ever match what I thought that we
Had in our love and in our words

But I deem my words were never heard
I love you, I love you,
But love is now gone.
