Suddenly

Romantic Word Smith

There she was

Then she was no more

All I got was her letters by the door

Suddenly it appeared to me

She has set me free to love another

My heart said how could that be

I dreamed she was meant for me

I seen it written in the stars

In poetry and in books

She certainly gave to me the good looks

like we would never part

It took to my heart

My world was shattered

but what did it matter

she has left our love behind

and I know her love was blind

For now she loves another

With tender loving care

I wish I had a shoulder to call my own

But for now I just can't replace her 

Or call her on the phone

heart strings were left untied

I had a sense of pride

But I lost it some how

When she left her key on the table by the door

and I had her shoulder no more.

Very touching. I find it so hard to write about subjects like this without a bit of distance. I really love the last two lines.

Aw, this was so sad and heartfelt. Romantic and sweet. But when love leaves. You are lost.
