I Wrote Your Name On A Tree.

Along with days, this has taken you away from me.

I’m over here and you’re not there.

I’m alone here. I know you don’t care.

I’m crying myself to sleep each time at night.

I’m unable to undo all of my wrong decisions and make everything right.

I long for the day when you ask me to come and visit but you will never say so.

I have accepted that you are moving on with your life. I know I must let go.

I think about you in the morning, I think about you through the night. You’re In my mind and. in my sleep.

I cherish our times together.I’ve buried them in my long term memories my feelings for you are forever deep.

The one thing I lastly must say is I love you more than you will ever know.

I believe one day we can look back and laugh I believe that if you plant old seeds you can still make them re-grow.

I’m proud of you and I want you to come back into my life.

The pain I have felt is worse than being stabbed repeatedly with a large sharp knife.

Created in an empty space.

I just long to see you, it would put a permanent smile on my face.
