"No pain, no gain," is what I've heard.
I guess that may be true.
But what has been my profit, dear-
For the pain of loving you?

You are not to blame, I must confess.
The fault is all with me.
I am the one who called the tune,
For a dance that could not  be.

You took the bait, the tender words,
Responded very well...
Until the tawdry truth of life,
I finally had to tell.

And now the flames we may have felt-
Become a burning pain.
And embers, cold, so silent, dead-
Are all that now remain.

"I love you." Let me say it once-
I say it all the time,
Especially on the lonely nights,
I'm wishing you were mine.

"Farewell." I've said it more than once-
And meant it, with each saying...
And yet into forbidden realms,
My heart is always straying.

"Good night." Well, maybe that is safe-
Although I rather doubt it.
"Hello, my love," I'd rather say...
E'en from the rooftops shout it.

Hi cowboy...thought I heard you ride in.
Tis a lonely song you leave for us tonight.
But, you know I love all of your tales..
you just don't post often enough!
~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~

  ~Time has cast a spell on you,
   So you won't ever forget me.~
