I just wanted
a happy time to come
and once I finally have it,
they tear it away.
They took away from me
a happiness, I fear,
but what they did not take from me
were the memories so terribly dear.
Now I hold them in my heart
locked away for safe-keeping
to look upon at my leisure
and cry over with remorse.
But why I cry,
I don't exactly know.
For the thing they took away,
my love, my happiness,
can't be bought or paid for
or traded for a pretty price.
And in times to come,
love and happiness will again be taken
And in time the hurt will diminish
and I will forget the hurt and betrayal
of so-called friends of old.
