THAT LOVE I NEVER HAD

It's something that you can't see,
Something the doctors can't heal.
But it's pain
So I know it's real.
It's a hole,
That you can't fill.
A loss of part of my soul.
And I cried last night,
But it won't bring you here.
I'll never want you out of my sight.
I realized something about you,
As I was lying in my bed.
But it was nothing you had said.
It was something you did.
And you were never mine to begin with.
So on that night when I saw you there,
I realized that you'd never smile at me again,
The way you did that night.
And for one split second,
I actually thought
That the fighting, now became the fought.
But when I saw you leave,
Into the dark,
I knew that there was no turning back.
So as I lie here in my bed,
I've learned that actions speak louder than words.
I know now that when you said good night,
You really meant good bye.
But I know that I'll go on,
And until the day that I die,
I'll be hanging on,
To that love I never had.
