A Beautiful Memory < !signature-->Who was it said that all in love is even and quite fair And was it also you who said you'd always be there So many promises were given and so many shared dreams Just what has happened to all your hearts themes Did the idea of being loved by me scare you so much Didn't your heart relish my sweet softly tender touch You used to enjoy so much every little thing that I'd do Now I wonder if truthfully you ever meant that I love you Why I'm sitting here in loves house so cold and all alone Tell me when did you disconnect your heart lines phone Why didn't I see that you were quietly packing me away I should've listened properly to what my heart had to say For I saw the goodbyes clearly written within your sighs I even felt them in your kiss, if only I had used my eyes To throw away this one chance of precious true love Is to discard it as nought, to ignore this gift from up above I wish I'd had the chance to work out all your rules Or the understanding that love makes of us all fools My memory has lost its sense of time it calls to you Strange that even now my heart believes you are still true I keep hoping that soon you'll regret saying goodbye Because without you here my heart just starts to cry Tell me what changed was it me, did I love you too much This heart pain fades when I remember your touch If I try hard enough I can still feel you deep inside And for a moment love returns only again to hide And your image that I hold so dear within my heart Is slowly disintergrating as my spirit falls totally apart When first I awake for a moment I think you're here Then I lose you all over again this is the pain I fear I would ask to forget if I thought it would help me But forgetting is not the cure, please don't let it be One day in a million years or maybe a million more I'll be able to say I've finally shut your hearts door But until that time I'll see the yawning hole so cold I'll still gaze in adoration at this where love had hold My heart will still beat to your rhythm it's all it knows My spirit will wait until a love will melt its icy snows And I'll remember a perfect time, a beautiful memory That you and your love once upon a time gave to me Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 12-29-2000).] |

Marsha, gal~ You KNOW I love those memories things ~ 'I would ask to forget if I thought it would help me But forgetting is not the cure, please don't let it be' Oh, how I agree with this sentiment. Lovely and I love it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
