It's When.. by Ryan M Holden

Sometimes you're lucky enough to hear
A song on the radio that draws a tear
There's always a tune that brings memories clear
Of that special someone you hold so dear

But what happens when no matter what song they play
You think of that person every minute...every day
In your mind you serenade the love songs to them
When a rock song plays, you'll daydream again
You're playing in concert, and they are right there
You can picture it so clearly; the wind blows through their hair

It's when you can't get someone out of your mind
It's when someone's beauty could drive you blind
It's when you wait up each night for a call
It's when someone has your heart in thrall
It's when you feel love's sweetest kiss
It's when you live each day in bliss

Though it seems that this lady is out of my league
My heart yearns for something it will never receive
It seems fate's list didn't include me and her
Yet she is the one my heart will always prefer
It's now that I know I need to let go
So this is my last hurrah, a chance to show
That I have felt what most people seek
True love has went and left my heart weak

It's when you know it can never work
It's when you've found love's unspoken quirk
It's when your heart must surely break
It's when you find an incurable ache
It's when you realize you've dreamed too long
It's when you wake up and find that you're wrong
It's when you just don't know what to say
It's when your heart feels this utter dismay
It's when each day you wonder why
Your heart must finally say goodbye

It's When
Ryan, this is emotion-laden and real. It sounds like you've experienced this pain: I feel it, too.
I wonder if there is such a thing as a "true love"--maybe someday I'll know what a soulmate it, if it is true.
