Island Girl

I fell in love with an Island girl

In a land not to far away.

We looked deep into each others eyes

and we talked the night away.

She held me close when I was cold

and pushed my fears aside.

We spoke of future plans together,

she discovered who I was inside.

I followed her around the world

to let her follow her dream.

Along the way I lost my soul

now all is not what it seems.

Words went flying and fists did too,

falling saltwater cant stop the pain.

We knew all we wanted was love,

it was all we had to gain.

She put another boy in front of me

thats when I saw the end.

Threw your life over the balcony

I'd just lost my only friend.

I cant describe the months that passed

as things are still a blur.

So dumbfounded when I'd see your eyes

the last thing we wanted was hurt.

No matter what we said or did

to try and repair what was.

It ended up in misery

with no excuses, just because.

You left for that land not far away

your heart needed to start again.

I miss you more than everything,

I wish I could call you; friend

Im still on this island

Waiting to return to life.

Those future plans now pushed aside

but my life is free from strife.

Now time has passed and the pain has gone

I hope to see your face one day.

The memory of you still lingers on

It will never fade away.

Until that time, my life is fine,

I know who I am again.

Im stronger now than I was before,

so from me, its Goodbye my Island friend.
