Echoes

Echoes in my mind and heart,
Resounding all the things you said.
Causing all my thoughts to drift,
To the time when our love wasn't dead.

You promised me to always be here,
To help me through this life.
I never asked for more from you,
Not even to be your wife.

But you weren't satisfied,
With just the love I could give.
You left me drowning in my tears,
You had "a life to live."

Now you ring my phone each day,
To plead for one more kiss.
To you really think that I'm insane,
Or that I would fall for this?

I used to need you, or so I thought,
But time taught me to be strong.
I feel the pain you must be feeling,
I felt it myself for so long!

Rejection is a hard thing to bear,
And it always comes home to land.
Never take love in your life for granted,
Hold it gently in your hands.

Our love is gone, no going back,
So you must now move on your way,
I can proudly hold my head up and say,
Thank you, you made me stronger for today!
