Sitting on the couch
opening a box
she felt the years slip back
to a time and a place
when she was a different person

Her heart was too far gone when she
gave him his ring back
His was too near to let her go
They fought with pride, love,
and anger
before finally giving up

The picture, now faded and aged,
smiled up at her
little did she know at that same
moment, he was looking at the
same picture too far away

He knelt down each night
whispering a prayer that she'd
come back to him
and it would be all right

But as it was then, and still is
now,
her heart is too far gone.

This is lovely....so so sad though.

Love and hugs,
