Sometimes the heart just can't let go
Been acquainted with this heartache before,
And though my mind is assuring me
That I'll be over you eventually,
How can I hope to keep going on
Now that you're gone,
And I keep wondering who's arms are holding you now
While I'm a ship-wrecked man torn up & ripped down
Who's now making you smile on those days you wear a frown
And I keep wondering who's arms are holding you now
Does he realize the precious diamond he's found
There's nothing I wouldn't do to reclaim those days we were bound.
Our letters ended with goodbye
Unlike the past I understand why,
But I can't help to think its all a dream;
My final unpleasant fantasy
And awake next morning to find you next to me,
I still remember the first day I met you
We talked about the joy & pain we've been through,
About the others who had came our way
And relations when our devotion was discarded away
Realizing each other's hope to love another day,
I had only myself that I could bring
For you it was enough our love needed nothing,
The genuine caring person you are
Was enough to believe we could go far
But now I'm wishing upon a star,
And I keep wondering who's arms are holding you now
While I'm a ship-wrecked man torn up & ripped down
Who's now making you smile on those days you wear a frown
And I keep wondering who's arms are holding you now
Does he realize the precious diamond he's found
There's nothing I wouldn't do to reclaim those days we were bound.
You showed me it wasn't too late to change
And were a major role in my life rearranged,
You were willing to go the distance for me
Our friendship to romance translated easily
How unforgiving life's circumstances can be,
And its making my whole heart sink
Go through The Plaza its you I think,
You knew how much I really care
But I understand you're needed else where
To ask "Stay with me?" would just be unfair,
So for now I wonder who's arms are holding you now
While I'm a ship-wrecked man torn up & ripped down
Who's now making you smile on those days you wear a frown
And I keep wondering who's arms are holding you now
Does he realize the precious diamond he's found
There's nothing I wouldn't do to reclaim those days we were bound.
Sincerely,
December 2008.
