battle of heart and Mind

@Uootem

My mind knows that we just happened as expected
Passions strong for a short time; growing up pushed it aside
It says to me that we were too young for love to be lasting
Young hearts change as quickly as time passes.
Though I'll never be able to get over love's losing
You could never expected to love me through all time.

Still my heart screams don't give up on this love I feel
Hold on one more day; keep love alive until it returns
Don't let go of what was precious; don't forget how you made me feel
And someday you will know our love was genuine and real
So I give you time to lower the walls time built around your memory of us,
And I keep dreaming and hoping that you'll love me again.

My mind tells my heart it is a fool to still love you so
That these emotions should have subsided decades ago
For the mind can't understand what the heart feels deep inside
My heart tells my mind, I'd be a fool to let you go
That what we shared was special and too wonderful to forget
But the mind uses logic and reason to see the reality of today.

My heart needs no justification, no pledge or promise
It has chosen to love you only and believe this is how it should be
The price I pay now is high and the risk I take is great
All the emptiness I must endure, with no guarantee of love's sweet cure
But I can't help but love you, even if my heart will break
My heart does not consider this too much to swallow for love's sake.

So, I'll keep battling between my heart and mind
I keep my mind busy with adult world interests and pursuits
While my heart waits for the someday when you'll love me again
For it thinks you just need a little more time to find your way
Back to us from the world where time has taken you
So I keep the memory of what we had alive until then
And I no longer listen to what my mind has to say.
