Cold as Snow

The longer I waited

The colder I grew

The older I got,

The harder it was to break through.

No one could ever know

Exactly how I feel

Who could ever sympathize with

The incarnation of falling snow

I never thought I'd meet you

The one who thawed my frozen tears

And broke the walls around my heart

I could faintly hear the birds sing

It was true

I had found my Spring

All I wanted was your happiness.

And it seemed you wanted the same for me

Your presence like the warmest breath of spring,

it melted my snow clean.

Two short months,

became the happiest years of my life

But to be married,

that would make me happiest of all

But he grew so angry

And blinded my eye

And in one request

He ruined my life

With his words he made you ill

But the cure was not a pill

Would it have been better..

If we'd never met?

But I can't let you go,

not yet.

You mean so very much to me

So perhaps I shouldn't feel guilty

I put my hands over your eyes

And she said her final goodbyes

I've taken the memory of so many

But never had I ever felt so guilty

I am taking your memories with my own hand

I couldn't help but wonder

Was this always the plan?

This is it,

my punishment.

I suppressed her memories of me

And the depression crept through violently

I thought that it was meant to be

And as I saw her laying on the ground

I found...

I'm sorry I didn''t say good-bye.

A tear fell from my eye

All I wanted was to hold you

But all I could do was cry.

So if I die surrounded by snow that never melts

I pray,

That she finds someone to make her happy...

Someday

And if she ever thinks of me

I will only be a passing memory

She'll always think

"It wasn't meant to be..."
