When nightfall comes and I'm alone
I knew you'd left and not return
Your footsteps echoed in my mind
As you disappeared along with time.
The warmth of your hands in my palms
Faded away like footrpints in the sand
I can't hear you sing my favorite songs
Your laughter is gone and everything feels wrong.
Hugging this teddy bear closer
That's all I have left of you
I remember the days when your love was mine
And I woke up and still had you.
When time stands still and rain runs dry
The night goes on and the stars collide
I'll try and forget you
It will break my heart but I'll get through.
Your eyes were my home
An assurance that I was loved
But when my path strayed away from you
I had to leave my heart with you.
You promised you'd wait for me to return
That you would still be my home
But dearest John while I was gone
You went away never to return.
And when the sun cries and flowers smile
The butterflies sing and grasses weep
I'll try and forget you
It'll be hard but I'll get through.
Dear John why'd you go?
You moved on now and I'll try too
But we both know
It'll be hard to stop loving you.
So when the fire goes cold and teardrops laugh
Leaves will bleed and trees will beat
I'll learn to forget about you
And I'll stop loving you...
I'll try and forget you
It'll be hard but I'll get through
But dearest John we both know
I'd have died but I'd never stopped loving you.

I wrote this poem for John. He was the first guy I ever fell in love with and the first one to break my heart. It's funny how I believed his promises would come true and until now I still love him. Maybe in a different way and not the way I used to, but I still love him all the same.
So dearest John if you are reading (and you know you're the one I'm talking about) remember that I might be gone from your memory,I tried to forget you but I can't. It's hard to do so and I'll never stop loving you.

PuisiAnd when the game is done and we’re left alone You leave me again and drive her home And you even waved goodbye To the girl who’s still waiting on the sidelines.
