Autumn is here the summer has passed
Just like our love, though I thought it would last
I can't bear the loneliness of being apart from you
When I thought what we had was so good and true
Our time together was all but brief
Yet still bestowed on me confidence and new self belief
But now I'm just burdened with heartache and grief
And there's nothing I can do to find some relief
I wish you were here with me tonight
My inspiration, my salvation and my Mr Right
We could have stayed up to watch the break of dawn
Or woken blissfully beside one another each morn'
Then shared every hour of daylight
Chased away the stars and the inky blanket of night
But you turned to me that day with your blue eyes so bright
And told me with sadness that we just weren't right
Fall has gone, the bleak winter is here
I still find myself longing for you to be near
The trees are bare silhouettes and the flowers are dead
Though I try so hard I cannot keep you from entering my head
I yearn for the touch of your embrace
To be blessed once again with your charm and your grace
But you long since vanished from my life without a trace
And now my future is one without your beautiful face
It was supposed to be you and me always
Living life to the full, cherishing all of our days
I gambled and took a chance on you, gave my heart away
All the love I had to offer wasn't enough to make you stay
You told me that you deserved more
Through tears and pain you spoke words of lore
But you took away all my riches and left me quite poor
And now I'm searching endlessly for that open door
Winter has thawed and spring has begun
It's now a new year every day fresh and undone
My thoughts constantly stray back to you time and again
Wondering if you've forgotten me and if you're seeing other men
Since you nobody has been able to compare
There is no satisfaction to be found in having a meaningless affair
But what am I to do when I no longer know if you even care
And could I even be one half of a different pair
John Paul I still love you, I can't forget
I often reminisce about the time when we two first met
Who knew that we'd become so much more than just friends
It brings me to tears every day knowing this is how it all ends
I should have chosen you from the start
Perhaps if I had done then we wouldn't now be apart
But I was young and foolish and instead toyed with your heart
And now all I can but do is wonder where thou art
