I Believed In Us

By: Vicki Lynn Starr

I told myself,
There was there was no such thing as forever,
Promises were made, only to be broken,
And 'true love', was a thing of the past..

Then came you...

What a fool I was
To believe in you, when you said we would never say goodbye...
My head knew better than to let go and care..
But my heart, full of loneliness, thought it was time to share.

I walked into our relationship with my heart,
Believing in you, when you said we would never part...
During our time together, I gave to you all of my love,
I felt as free as a bird, and as beautiful as a dove..

All of the feelings I had buried so deep inside,
The feelings of love I thought had long ago died,
I gave to you freely, to do with what you would...
Now I sit here, alone, wishing to take them back,
... if only I could!

You are gone,
But the feelings of pain are still here,
I stand alone again,
My heart is bare....
Will I go with my heart the next time,
Or will I even care??
