I haven't seen you for awhile, but you're always in the back of my mind And my thoughts drifting to you, now and then I often find I wish that they wouldn't, because it's only bad memories that I hold Memories of you and I together and my heart to you I sold It went to you at a price, I couldn't afford to pay So my thoughts still drift to you, upon this very day If I knew then what I know now, how you'd sell my soul for your own gain I would never had said yes, that I would play your game You held my heart at ransom and slowly destroyed my soul All along I never knew that this would be your goal Sometimes we play the game of love and have a price to pay Sometimes we play the game and the love is there to stay We take up the gamble and sometimes pay a hefty price For something that rips our soul apart with every cutting slice So here I find myself thinking about you and the forgiveness that I gave But I will never forget the path that you did pave For the path was long and trecherous, a journey I could not bare Thankfully I found my knight in shining armour, who gave me tender loving care So even though you're sometimes on my mind, you can't hurt me anymore And my knight in shining armour protects me forever more  < !signature--> Keep all the windows of your mind open Anne Rooks [This message has been edited by tracie66 (edited 03-31-2000).] |

Love is not a game we always win...but when we do, it certainly makes the gamble worthwhile |
