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
