A day when the dawn brought with it a love so new
The one whose blossom made the older one bid adieu
For then life forbade a new course
Leaving no minute for breakup or remorse
Just left was time to pull apart all that was sown
Those unspoken shards had to be blown
What seemed a lifetime of happiness and memories
Was now altered to the spell of a fool’s reverie
A lot had to be said, a lot to be heard
All of this was spoken but without any word
The death of the soul…the losing of its mate
Leaving it all to the decree of fate
We did tread along together for a little while
Living each moment like a lifetime
You and I were never meant to be
Two parallel roads became we
Who walked together through each bit
But never ever did the two meet
Like some people who love each other
But not necessarily end up being together
I set you free so you don’t keep any guilt
Just let bygones be like every blooming flower has to wilt
No promises were made and none broken
Just a few dreams and hopes which were over woven
It isn’t that now we will not be
Just in a different fashion, a distant camaraderie
With a heavy heart and a running eye
We wash away what we had as we say goodbye
Holding on to memories as they cascade
Eventually even this will drift away as I quietly disappear and fade ….!
It’s hard to come by experienced people about this topic, however,
you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
You are being appreciative; thank you for understanding my thoughts and feelings. I guess some of us are lucky to find what we sought whereas some of us live through the memories and hopes 🙂
