Much that I once depended on has failed the test of time.
'Though many years have come and gone, you've stayed upon my mind;
I think about the old home town and I wonder how you've been;
And if by chance you're still around...could you love me once again?

I know I never gave a good excuse for why I left;
But I had dreams and you had plans that scared me half to death.
My dreams just kept escaping me; and unless you've changed your plans...
Do you ever think of me and could you love me once again?

If I said, "Hello, it's me again...
Would you have a smile for a long lost friend?
Does your loving heart still hold a place for me?
Through ups and downs and all arounds...
Each thought of you is sacred ground;
You've always been my favorite memory.

There are times when I'd do anything to hold you once again,
But I wouldn't trade a single thing for my memories of...Then.
In this life of shattered dreams, that's a loss I could not bare,
So I stay content to close my eyes...and see you standing there.

I've always been a dreamer and wont give up my dreams of you...
That somewhere, you're still loving me the way you used to do.
Through so many miles and all these years, I wonder how you've been...
Sometimes at night, you dry my tears and love me once again.

You obviously know the circumstances best, but is it really all that impossible that you two could take up from where you left off?  Or take up from a new beginning instead, if the former is not possible?  Perhaps it is worth a try.  It won't happen if you don't venture forth . . .

Lovely poem!
