Love & Loss

Once upon a time I saw you there
across the room, I couldn't help but stare
Something new was being born
a feeling, I didn't know I soon would mourn

The perfect future flashed before my eyes
not like the one to come, with tears and lonely cries
We did not know what the future would bring
and yet you gave me the most beautiful ring
I didn't plan on loosing you so soon
my greatest love, now becoming my very doom

You gave your life for me to live
and now - alone - I stand upon this cliff
that tragic moment stuck in my head like a guitar riff
