THE ONES WE NEVER WERE

I paid the price of knowing you,
Yet love was not to blame.
Your softest sighs, and dressed up lies,
To me looked both the same.

Such sadness to be seeing,
A turn around like this,
No more a thousand feelings
to be captured in a kiss.

As love turns into anger,
And the bitterness does rise,
The hug when we first met,
Has changed to ultimate goodbyes.

This gap dividing love and hate,
Emotions hot and cold,
A gamble with your destiny,
A twin edged sword to hold.

But as the future turns to past,
Each day becomes a year,
I watch our story stay behind,
And slowly disappear.

My heart will not permit me,
To turn round and look behind
For loving you, and loosing you,
Is all that I will find.

Yet still there is a part of me,
That wishes now was then,
Your laugh, your ways, the summer days,
Would all be back again.

There was a woman I once new,
Whose love I thought would last,
Now time will keep her locked away
forever in my past.

As each new day that presents itself,
I move to newer ground,
No longer so dependent
on this love that I had found.

Still sometimes when the night grows cold,
And old emotions stir,
I travel back, as we become,
The ones we never were.

I understood, related and appreciated the value of the truth, the beauty in every emotion...of this poem. The 3rd line blew me away. I wish I had written every word of this!

Dang! Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and returned to the fair. Trust me, you have captured the haunting moments of past love so very well.
