If Love Is Real

If love is real, why can't you take love
And lock love away?
In some safe place where you won't lose love
Just keep love each day
So close, so warm and dear
Where love can stay so pure and clear
The evenings pass and I wonder where you
Are sleeping tonight
Are you awake running through memories
Remembering how good it felt
When love took hold
The future plans that won't unfold
And days are long, patches of time
Held together like clouds
Of empty hours blinded by pictures
Of places we knew
And now in space I stare
Without your voice or soul to share
And all seems lost, left are just words
But without much to say
'Cause if love is real, you've got to trust
And let love go its way
