Empty Hands

It was more than I wanted.
It was more than I needed.
It was over before it began.
It left me here with empty hands.

There was nothing I could do.
There was nothing in the air.
There were more yet to come.
There were tears to fall.

Where did you go?
Where were memories?
Where are the roads?
Where do we go from here?

Over and done without a word.
Miles between us would it always be.
Finding you would never be easy.
And when you appeared it was very clear.

It was over before it began.
There was nothing left to do.
The tears have dried.
And the memories are gone.

Never knowing where it happened.
Never seeing the end was near.
Never having a chance again.
Never seeing the future was clouded.

The rain has washed away.
The life that I once knew.
And now that it is over.
I am still in love with you.
