Fall in Love Once Again...

For the first time, I'll miss you for life.
For the last time, I'll touch your gorgeous smile.
For the second time, I'll lose my love for life,
And till the end of time, I'll walk those lonely miles.

It had to be too good to last.
It must've been growing so fast.
I prayed for nights you'd always stay,
And if you go, you'd head my way and suddenly,

I'm alone by myself
Like a book on the shelf,
Begging someone would pass
And see that I'm in a mess.
Fix the pieces all back,
Search for those that I lack.
I'll be ready right then
To fall in love once again.
