• For many years, we’ve laughed and we’ve smiled a lot.
    It wasn’t part of any omnipotent plot.
    It was the moment that carried us far away.
    And that was how it was until you had a say.

    I locked myself up in a dark room in my heart.
    That solid door which kept us inches apart
    Was broken down, and I came into your arms.
    I realized that beyond there wasn’t any harm.

    You’ve opened the doors in my heart and from time to time
    I could have sworn that I heard a distant chime.
    It wasn’t the sound of me moaning or my silent tears.
    It was my laughter that I haven’t heard in years.

    You swept me off my feet and beyond reality.
    You kept me away from the sad and the ugly.
    But you let go and we wandered far beyond hope.
    The rift we made--we’ll just have to learn to cope.

    You gave me a small light for my little dark room
    To chase away death, the sadness, and the gloom.
    Then you left and I was alone once more.
    Those lonely days came back--the ones I deplore.

    I love you with all of my heart. That’s not a lie.
    With you I can smile, chuckle, frown, and cry.
    Even though you’re gone, I will still love you.
    But now there isn’t anything that I can do.

    I locked myself up in the same dark room in my heart.
    That solid door which kept us inches apart
    Was broken down and I fled away from your arms.
    Beyond this room is a world filled with much harm.
