remnants of love

Love never fails,
but people fail to love.

I still remember that day,
that fateful summer day.
It wasn't love at first sight,
but it felt right, I remember thinking
Too good to be true?

We were young & we rushed,
perhaps to our end...I fell so fast,
made rash decisions,
we shared so much, I thought we were fine.

The innocence of first love,
etched on my heart,
not sure what happened,
scars on my heart.

Days turned weeks,
separated by miles, you made promises
they would all fall short. I should have
seen it coming, but I was blinded by love.

Why does love happen?
How does it start?
Why does it end...why did we part?
I'll always remember you,
I'll always hold you somewhere deep down inside
I guess it's true when they say,
You've only got one heart...

Why did you lie to me?
Why did you hurt me?
Were those things you said really your heart?
Or was it your head?
I never could tell, it wasn't fair.

We've both moved on,
I hear you're ready to marry,
I want to wish you the best,
but if I'm honest I still carry
this burden of love, the scars of my heart.

I have found someone new and yes he's for me
But I can't help thinking I wish I could've seen
How love can grow weak,
How love can die,
How love can be remnants forever alive.
