We had something amazing once.
We loved with our whole hearts.
We never held anything back.
We sang our own private love song.
Even though neither of us could carry a tune!
We held hands.
We danced in the rain.
We made love under the stars.
But then I lost you.
Left you behind.
Ignorant in my choices.
Living my life for others.
I should have been living for Us.
Still I had our memories.
Until now.
Now you have taken what was beautiful
and made it ugly.
Why did you have to walk back into my life
and be so cruel?
What happened to the man that you used to be?
I search your eyes for a trace of who I loved.
He isn't there.
He's lost just like the love that we once shared.

Loving who we see and seeing who we love...sometimes turn out to be very different things.  Enjoyed!

and that's when we come to the realization that. . . well, you know what it is. . .

an excellent outpouring. . . you share the feelings well. . .

To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world.

Thank you all for your replies.
This was a hard thing for me to share.
