Love and Jail

by Amanda
(Pennsylvania, United States)

With years to go and so much unknown
I struggle to live this life alone

The empty pillow and empty passenger seat
I cannot let time be my defeat

There is half of my heart that I don't feel beating
But maybe with this first meeting,
I will find peace and bliss
Like I did every time we kiss

From coffee in the morning and planning our day,
To pictures and phone calls to keep us at bay
After this is over we will be okay
If you promise to give me what I asked for since the very first day

Give me all of your love and don't call me a name
and I will promise to do just the same
Never lay a finger and cuddle me in bed
Presents to open and kisses on the forehead

We will be strong even though this hurts like a knife
because I knew even before you were gone I would love you all of my life
