Only Love Can Hurt Like This

By: Veronica Ann Abnett

The heart wants what the heart wants-
All that my heart wants... is you.
After it's all been said and done
There's nothing left for me to do,
But sit here feeling lonely
As I write these words for you.

I know it doesn't make much sense
It struck me out of the blue,
But there's no denying
Every part of me is yearning
For every part of you.

I'm hurting now cause you're not here
No tender kisses as you hold me near.
My heart broke as I watched you go
The tears won't stop but overflow.

It's like I've known you for so long
I can feel you in my soul.
Surely this can't be wrong
You made me feel like I was comin' home.
I know I never said but you are my heart-song,
Like a long lost love I'd found
But now that love is gone.

I don't know how it happened
I can't believe it's true,
But somewhere between our first kiss and Sunday morn',
I fell in love with you.
