I actually thought, For that moment in time, That true love existed. I even put it in rhyme. I was right all along: True love is a lie. For life can destroy it, And cause it to die. If true love were real, If it existed at all, Then nothing could end it, Nothing at all. Yet ended it has, Though we fought the good fight, Outside forces prevailed And turned out the light. You've turned to another For the love that you need. The fear of my leaving Has caused you to leave. My past is my past, I can't make it go away. But, because of it, I can't ask you to stay. I love you, my angel, And no matter what comes, With all that has happened, Forever and then some. If the time ever comes When you get past the fear, The candle's in the window, I'll still be here. With my arms opened wide, And a smile on my face, I'll invite you inside, By my side is your place. We go back to the question, With all this said and done, Back to the start, Is true love a con? My answer is no, True love has to be. It's not false or unreal, I finally see. If true love were fake, If it were a sham, Then the love would be over, I wouldn't give a damn. I do give a damn, my love, I do swear. While your confusion and fear Reign supreme, I'll be there. I'll be there when you're scared. While trying to wrestle The demons inside On my shoulder you can nestle. I'll be there in the night If you're afraid and alone. I'll be there in the day, Just pick up the phone. If you need help with your feelings, I'll do what I can To help you find answers, To try to understand. I'll do it without conditions, I'll do it without pay. I just want the pain that's Inside you to be on its way. If your pain is gone Then mine will be to Regardless of whatever You decide to do. True love exists Not just for me But for you But you're scared, I can see. You're not in this room, You're not within my touch. Woodworms possessed me today But I love you too much. Would I take you back in? You asked with a tear. I answered yes, But there was a fear. A fear we both felt, And you know that it's true, That at that point in time I wouldn't know what to do. To shut off the pain, To make it hurt less, I brought forth some demons Of my own, I confess. I summoned them forth And commanded them to Do what they could to erase The pain of losing you. And like all good demons They did as were told, They turned off the light They made my world cold. The demons are gone now I bade them to go. The only thing left Is the one thing I know: Whatever happens with us, However this ends, That forever and then some, We will always be friends. If the time should come When we lovers unite. If your love for me Prevails in this fight, Come back to me. I'll be here. No questions. I love you, my dear. |
