STOLEN NIGHT

The time is right
it holds steady.
The rhythm is tight
like a melody.
Our love is alright
meant to be.
Let's use this gift
come to me.
We'll light the night
with our luminosity.

TIME AND DISTANCE

All I feel is an emptiness
accompanied by cutting pain.
Biting hurt that has no cure
melancholy like a warm soft rain.
Add to that a bittersweet joy,
a memory of a tender young love.
A winding horrific obstacle course
we could never rise above.
What might have happened
if I had made that last call.
Nobody knows,nobody knows
that regret hurts worst of all.
Time passes,as it always does,
we traveled our different paths,
keeping each other in our hearts
fond memories of a happy past.
Finding each other after many years
sadly things never stay the same.
We still have a deep connection
but must call it a different name.
That name is loving friendship
it seems the best we can do.
It's going to be hard,but I will try
to be a best friend to you.
