But Then There’s You

OK, no giving up.

But Then There’s You

No Valentines this year I guess
The world of love is such a mess
A maze there’s just no getting through…
But then there’s you.

I’ve loved and lost and had enough
It’s just no win- this loving stuff
No matter what I say or do…
But then there’s you.

I should be cured of wanting love
And begging from that God above
I’d give in to the world of blue…
But then there’s you.

It never will make sense to me
The lack of love I always see
Just wonder what it’s coming to…
But then there’s you.

I try to stay away from love
And all that I’ve been dreaming of
For after all- it can’t come true …
But then there’s you.

“Just give up hope” I tell my heart
For love will tear your life apart
To feel this way is nothing new…
But then there’s you.

So many times I want to scream
For all I ever do is dream
It’s hopeless; I’m without a clue…
But then there’s you.

Can there still be some hope to find?
Or have I finally lost my mind?
If I’m to love- God- tell me who?…
I hope it’s you.

Your journey is not over John ..It has just begun. I know you feel alone, abandoned.. scared .. But this will lessen with each day .. Look around you.. There are so many roads and directions to take..Pick one.. Go out.. Have fun.. Learn to laugh again.. Then you will learn to love again. And she will be a very lucky lady. She could be right in front of your eyes. Never stop taking chances.

Always,

Erica~
Your writing as always is superb!
