A sadness in my soul There's a sadness in my soul

A feeling I can't control

There's a hurt in my heart

And I don't know where to start

The thoughts in my head

Have become my daily dread

For now I know it's true

I cannot be with you

--

All the pain that I have caused

Our lives being paused

The things that have been said

Keep me up all night in bed

I hoped we'd have forever

And I can't believe it's never

For the love I have for you

Is the deepest and most true

You gave me more than I can say

I'm so sorry its gone this way

No one could ever know

The depth of our twin souls

The connection that we have

Leaves me longing for what I crave

The way you made me feel

It felt so ing real

For the first time in my life

My heart is broken and full of strife

I don't know how I'll get through

Every day without you

The love and joy we shared

Can never be compared

I can't believe we're over

You were always my dream lover

--

I will always think of you

In my dreams and daylight too

You're the one who gave me reason

And now all I feel is beaten

I will remember every time

Your voice, your eyes, your smile

You're the one who taught me so much

Our time together was such a rush

I hope you are OK

And that you remember every day

Our love became my home

And you will never be alone

For I will hold you in my heart

So we will never be apart

You are mine and I am yours

But this life must take its course

And even if it takes forever

There could never be another

For this love is deep and true

My heart will always beat for you

Our twin souls know the plan

We may never understand

Two souls that Are each other

Are destined to love no other

Weapons of mass construction

Africa is in my heartbeat

A matrix for an issue

Christmas hugs warm smiles

A stampede rushing
