Whispering leaves picked up their overnight bag
Walking down steps of good-byes again
Only turning to speak in a breeze, “I’ll be back again”
An autumn chill spoke in tears

Holding hope in my heart that darkness wouldn’t last
This time was different he said
All that time, another summer stirred his soul
He held my essence in storm’s embrace
As I wasn’t his choice, he didn’t care or know

He held my touch, in his soul
Though someone else held him close

Another maiden’s name came across my telephone
After the promises he’d made and I believed so honestly
So come, and go, if you must
Someday love will once again earn my trust

All of my life I had passed the time…waiting
For the man of my dreams to come along
Tonight I write this empty page
Was a longing to have someone like him foolish?
Who loved someone else all this time?
All this time…he acted like mine was a greater love
Then he’d have ever known
I thought he needed time…perhaps to grow
A bond was broken a promise came undone

He held my touch, in his soul
Though someone else held him close

Truth of dreams brings from journey’s hands
With awesome ease and sweet anticipation
Snow falls in the first moon…unable to reach morning
We’d been through a lot…life changing lectures dawning

I paid attention, seems like years ago
That you moved so far away
We’ve left one another in the shadows
Images are fluent where words were not
To my little life he was a brush stoke on canvas
One of those priceless works of art you’ll see, but never have

My heart lay still and tuned to his music
Oh, those magical nights we danced, under the twilight
When you wandered into my every dream
Yet always beyond my grasp….he’s never there nor with me
So long ago…
Did you know I saw your aura?

Though lies caused the lack of trust
You crushed my heart…I let go to be strong now
I’ve had enough, and know I won’t be seeing you tomorrow
The pain had thought with me for hours

He held my touch, in his soul
But another lady held him close

And I was shocked, because you did it all so audaciously
...and I would have loved him like he's never been loved or appreciated before....
