Unlike Before

Unlike Before

Thats right baby, take your love and store it away,
Hide it deep inside for some cloudy rainy day.

You say me pushing is part of what kept your love at bay,
But I was just trying to understand what you could never seem to say.

Im not sure why you couldnt love me in a way that was rich and deep,
Perhaps it was just too big of an emotional leap.

Im sorry I was so consumed with everything that encompasses you,
But I fell in love and had no idea what I was supposed to do.

I will remember with fondness your bare skin, your laughter, and your beautiful hair.
And somehow I will try to believe that somehow, someway, you really did care.

Ill try to remember how very deeply you touched me inside
And forget all the times I sat alone, waited and cried.

I will look until I find someone who thinks I hang the moon,
But you need to know that I wont be forgetting you soon.

It makes me so sad that things had to end this way.
I so looked forward to your bright beautiful face with each waking day.

I pray that love finds me through some new unknown door,
But next time I will love more carefully, unlike before.
