Two and a half years
On the day we first met
Our eyes burned a hole in each other's hearts
And we knew from that day on,
Things would be different for us
It took half a year for us to confess our love
That single moment
Was a turning point in each of our lives
Through summer days
We walked along beaten down paths
Exploring new areas
And working our way into one another's hearts
Summer turned to fall
And fall to winter
While we spent less time together
The flame that had etched itself
Into our young hearts
Was burning low, but bright
A year had passed since our first confession of love
And each new day
Brought a new smile
Simply by hearing your voice
But the honey-moon phase
Was slowly coming to an end
The summer passed
And fall came
Bringing new turmoil and problems
Each new issue bringing a new battle scar
But we waged the war
And fought on
Fall and winter passed
Spring came again
We faced another battle
And lost
Each of us, turning away
To another path
Reunited again
Later that season
We rejoiced
With a renewed energy to fight on
Summer passed
The more recent battle scars
Still showing
Still hurting
Summer turned to fall
And in the newly born season
We parted ways again
Turning to new paths
That with each second
Brought us further and further apart
During the gloomy season
My heart cries for you
Wishing we were still
Walking the same beaten comfortable path
But with each new tear that falls
You seem to drive a new knife
Further into my battered heart
In the years that we've known each other
You slipped through my guarded wall
As a knight would on his stallion
To save the princess
At the end of a fairie tale
But instead
You tore down my wall
Leaving me bare and alone
Not once
When you made each individual promise
Did I think you would ever truly
Go back on your word
Not once
Did I ever truly think
You would be the one who got through my wall
And inflict the most damage upon me
Not once
Did I really ever think
You'd break my broken and bleeding heart
