Innocence Within Me

Staring into the early evening sky outside my window,
Having our song played in my mind,

I reminisce the moment, when two hearts entwined,
Mine and yours, ours coincide,

I’m reminded of the place, the feelings and your face,
Of the situations that bounded us,
And events that took place,

I feel in my heart that you are near,
So near that I can almost touch your skin,
Your presence so strong within the walls of my room,
But not really knowing when,
And where you’ve gone,

How could you leave me my love?
I thought you would try,
We would try to work it out?

Once you said their thoughts,
Their feelings don’t matter anymore,
But why did you choose to hide from them,
From me, more and more?

Cherish I could only do,
To our loving memories,
The book, the bittersweet love you gave,

Wishes I could only whisper,
To the wind for the world to hear,

My heart was painfully tormented,
When suspicions you gave to me,
Through stories from friends,

How could you, when you know,
That it would reach my ever curious self,

Three years have gone past,
I’ve fallen in love with others,
But why so, that when I think of you,
And of what we shared,
It seems only yesterday,
That those events took place?

Innocence within me,
I realize is lost along the years,

Innocence within me,
No longer lingers within my veins,

Innocence within me,
I no longer possess,

I held on to your every word,
Of hope, of courage,
Of faith and love,

Though words that I’ve carelessly given to others,
I truly only meant for you,
