Lay me Down to Sleep

I gave it all to you
because there is not
any other person
I'd rather give it to.

You swept me off me feet
and took me to the stars.
Oh, you're words so sweet
Amazed that this is ours.

"I'll be here forever."
"I'll stay if you stay."
You're talking pretty big, there.
and talking honestly, I pray.

Of course its not forever,
but one day shy
of three months, that is,
and the time flew by.

All of the love I had for you
couldn't be given in that little of time
There are so many things I wanted to do
for us to make our love shine.

So you want to go away
and not be tied down.
By someone you have to love
You want to be free to move around.

But not for a few years will that take place.
Why cant we enjoy the remaining time we have
to hold each other
in love's embrace.

I don't expect you to answer this.
I'm sure you have your thoughts.
Its just with every kiss
my stomach tied in more knots.

Butterflies now flutter inside.
They can't understand what went wrong
Neither can the tears I cried.
I'm speechless, but must remain strong.

I would've been happy
with the future we planned.
Until you kicked that fairy tale ending
into the sand.

We've lost our way in this love
Now were just friends,
But I'll eventually be okay with that,
just as long my heart mends.
