I still remember back when we met,
We were both so young and carefree.
You were the man of my dreams,
I thought you would always love me.

We were both so happy on our wedding day,
As I gave my heart eternally to you.
You also made a pledge on that day,
That you would always stay with me too.

Along with the passing years came our family,
They should have only deepened our bond.
Instead this seemed to strain our life together.
Staying away from home was how you did respond.

Somehow I knew you were no longer true,
That nagging feeling wouldn’t ever go away.
It seemed like all we ever did was fight,
And in my heart I knew you were going astray.

Then came that sad day you told me goodbye,
Because you felt I no longer owned your heart.
You told me you had found another love,
And you thought it was now time for us to part.

After you left I cried all those lonely tears,
As every night I just sat in my empty room.
My saddened heart was surely breaking,
As our years together my thoughts consumed.
