A Tender Heart

by

Jo-El Gerber

At times I thought I hade more than just a tender heart
But now I'm starting to see things more clearly
That when I began my life with you I hoped we'd never part
For when I fell it was you that I held oh so dearly.

When I look back on all our memories together
I've come to realize that though at times I've been wrong
It's time I say I hoped we'd last forever
But, I guess I was imagining it was you where I belonged.

A tender heart is what I possess
Every now and then I wish I didn't
Because if not for my heart I'd be over you
Love has blinded me to the point I could never start anew.

When times between us got bad
You left and made me realize
That without you in my world I'd always be sad
And that each time I looked in your eyes I got hypnotized.

Looking at you in a way that I've never looked before
I should you my heart and my world to share with you
Just to get my heart broken when you walked out that door
I knew in that second when you left that what was in me
Was nothing more than a tender Heart.
