Somewhere Along the Way

I pray this day for you not to turn away but come back to

Me forever and a day

Love is like a burning fire when used and treated right it can

Be a God-send, it can bring warmth and comfort

But when abused it can become a danger, a liability, it can burn you

And if it gets cold it dies. I possessed my lover, friend and soul mate

A woman who loved me dearly, but I took her love for granted

Somewhere along the way, she loved me-yes she loved me

Not for the money we didn’t have or the clothes, expensive cars, and home

We only dreamed of, she loved me for one reason and one reason only

She loved me for me, but something in our lives and relationship had changed

That something was me, I took her love for granted, somewhere along the way

When reality came around, selfishness and egotism had blackened my eyes

And knocked me down you were gone and not around

It should have never been about me, but about us.

Fool I’ve been to lose your love and trust

You gave so sweetly, I was so into me, myself and I, so deeply I misused

And abused our love completely, somewhere along the way now that you

Have returned to the Angels and God up above

I wish I had told you all the things about you that I love

My body and mind got lost, somewhere along the way

I thought I had you under my control when I could disappear all weekend

But when I got back home you stopped speaking, you were right

I was with some girl, creeping, not realizing I was out there seeking

A girl and love I had all the time.

Man, what was wrong with my mind

I made a bad connection, somewhere along the way

I couldn’t see the forest for the trees.

I was thinking foolishly, things like

“I got her now, I don’t have to do that anymore

She loves me, she’ll never leave me, besides I am doing her a favor

By just being with her, what woman wouldn’t want me—God’s Gift”

I was wrong, 0 so wrong!

Somewhere along the way I stopped saying and doing

All the little things I did to get her

Not knowing it takes the same things, if not more, to keep her

Love is a living, breathing creation created by God,

For two people and just like people, if it gets old or cold it dies

I lost my best friend somewhere along the way God,

I wish she’d came back to stay

I lost my significant other somewhere along the way

It hurt me deep inside the day you died

But I know you’re by God’s side

So count your pennies and know when you’re blessed

And never take no one for granted, especially love, joy and happiness

And pray that love will never leave you

Somewhere along the way!

PS.

I made a bad connection. I lost my direction

To your love and affection somewhere Along The Way!
