and there you are
walking into another lost dream
your whispers and gentle smile
touching the memoriesΒ Β
I hold dear
like the dream
our time was brief
you turn and walk away as you did
40 years ago
you wanted more from me
another day
another week
and perhaps I would have realized
that I truly loved you
but we know how cruel time can be
and I let you go
I awaken to your image
fading quickly
and I decide to find you
maybe to ask forgiveness
maybe to beg
but I am too late
and you have left me
only to be found
in my dreams
in my sorrow

We make decisions in our lives that may seem of little importance at the time, only to realize the immensity later. like the song...I let her go... I looked for her again recently, only to find she had passed away in 2009. A punch to the soul that I will never fully recover.
