Days Gone By

This morning I walked
to our park
one last time-
to wipe your memory
from my mind

I sat on the swings and wondered what happened to the fun we used
to share...
Where did the time go,
that I forgot how you
needed your freedom
so desperately

I didn't mean to
make you feel I was
trying to steal it away
It's just that our laughter
made me feel so young again

and I liked giving
my time to you
Now tonight has caught me
on the park bench,
where our names have been
engraved on the seat...

whispering yours
and wishing you hadn't had
to go so soon
And the park that was once
only ours to dream or
make love to the sky-
will be a thousand other lovers'-
and only ours to remember
the one time we loved.
