I put down my book, And I picked up the picture, Of you, that I printed and framed- Lost in your smile- I gazed for awhile- Then said, "You are going insane." I know I can't have you- You may not want me... But we'll never know will we, dear. Nor stroll hand in hand- Through the Florida sand- Alas, all my future is here. Besides that, I'm older- With too many miles... That I've seen as I went down the road; A rodeo drifter, A dreamer, a fool, More oft than I've won, I got throwed. I'll miss you, my darling... Do you think of me? We touched, and of that I am sure... Perhaps it is better- That our love stay unmarred, Platonic,and perfect, and pure. Reality's shattered... More daydreams that one. I'm glad ours will always exist. A gossamer world- Unsullied by fact... We'll walk through the glow and the mist. Farewell, little darling- Your smile is so sweet... Your eyes are two windows alight. I bask in their glow, When the lonely winds blow- And I sit here alone in the night. |
