Four Months

Four months in my heart I held you
In all that time the real you I didn't even get to know
Here in my arms were you even happy?
Or were you just playing games with me?

We were so young then and hoped to be free
From the duties set on us - our oath to family
Our dreams were not in tune I see
I guess from the start it wasn't meant to be,

You came and went like the wind from the east
No word, no warning you could have said something at least
Caught unprepared I failed this test
Like a breath you were gone blowing to the west.

The Silent Song

I thought I heard a song from you
A song for me I wish it were
All you wanted was silence for a while
And someone to stay with you for that time.

Am I just an interlude in your song
A brief pause and nothing more
A song you did not sing for me
Borrowed time not mean to be.

That song you had it was beautiful
I didn't know the song was for someone else
Assuming too much I allowed myself
In the end it was my own mistake.

The song you wrote, was it for you and I?
At first I believed in my heart that it was
As I kept hearing it soon I realized
It was for someone else, someone in the past.

Now I write this just for you
Whether it's fair or not doesn't matter anymore
Like your song for the past you wrote for him
This song is for you my past love gone.
