London Town
Last night I walked the brick laden streets of London town,
And I was insular and troubled with my mind on just about anything.
I wore a tired old complexion and flashed a distant frown,
And the bright lights across the water made me want to give you a ring.
You and I well we’ve not spoken in ever so long now my dear,
I’ve tried replacing the feeling you gave me and the warmth inside your eyes.
You seem so far away and I don’t want be alone again next year,
I walked those streets knowing you’d never be mine again despite our loving ties.
Its funny how I could have felt so whole and complete with only you,
Yet now you’re a million miles away and I’m a broken shell of who I’m supposed to be,
You made the world seem brighter despite all the things I’d been through,
And I know you changed me for the better and you will always mean the world to me.
You could say this is a love letter that you might not ever read,
Because my legs are carrying my tired old bones with many so aches and pains,
But I’ll be honest when I say that you were all I would ever need,
So we will have to live our own lives now my love and accept what life ordains.
