They were far too brief, the moments- That I held you next to me. When we used words like “forever”… But we knew they could not be. Stolen moments in our life times… We played a game of “let’s pretend”. That we lived within some dream world, But we knew that it would end. Oh, the pleasure of those moments- Now, I know I’ll not forget… Bittersweet, and very painful- That we met, I’ll not regret. On such times we hang the tapestrys- Which represent our lives. While the moments quickly leave us, Long their memories survive. Stolen moments, stolen visions- Of a life beyond our ken… Lives not meant for jaded ladies, Nor for calloused, hardened men… But from time to time, those moments- Uninvited, come to mind. Of a girl, a night, a vision… That I’ve long since left behind. |

Beautiful! You're definitely making me sigh here. Those memories can sometimes feel like they'll leave you on the floor thinking no future could be better than the time you had with someone else. "I know this love will tear me to pieces |
