I never knew

I never knew loneliness could hurt so much,
longer it goes on the more I am out of touch
I never knew the years could go by so fast,
not sure how much longer my sanity can last

I never knew that I would lose hope,
without your love I just can't cope
I never knew I would feel so lost,
I gave my heart freely and look what it cost

I never knew I'd feel so depressed,
when I think of you, I feel so obsessed
I never knew that I'd want to die
cause without you, all I do is cry.

Inside A Love Stream

You're the one that I want, that I can't have
that I had even though you don't remember
my first kiss, my first bliss, in a cornfield
behind your home in August or September

Those eyes of yours are sapphire Blue
and forever etched in my mind
You a sweet silhouette in a paisley dress
the years for you have been kind

The things that we did, when we were kids
Come back to me in my dreams
I never forget, or regret how you loved me,
in our moment in time, inside a love stream
