There will come a time in life
I will think back and wonder
where you are and if you're well-

I will flip through the pages of my memories,
it's just too great a tale to tell.

I know this because I know
I can't stay here too much longer,
we live our lives too much apart,
and our time together doesn't make us stronger.

But I love you all the same,
like I will for many years to come,
you're not mine, I've no right to you
and the guilt has left me numb.

God let me have you for awhile,
when I needed you to make it through,
greed is something He doesn't like,
I couldn't get enough of you.

And then it came to this.
It became a thing I didn't miss.
I built up a certain resistance
and now I can love you from a distance...

I will love you for all my years
and always wonder how you are, through tears.

"you're not mine, I've no right to you

Very intriguing write...

There is some very ‘real’, powerful, interesting
‘food for careful thought’ in this ‘write’!...for example:

“...I can't stay here too much longer,
we live our lives too much apart,
and our time together doesn't make us stronger.”

and:

“I love you all the same,
...I will for many years to come,
you're not mine, I've no right to you
and the guilt has left me numb.”

serious applause!!
