Have you ever felt love slipping, Just slowly slipping each day? Like the leaf when it is dying, It withers and withers away. You try to recall the moment When you knew that love had died. Was it me who didn’t love? No! But it was me who wept and cried. For I thought my love could conquer The doubts you held within. But your love was lost or dying And your soul I ne’er could win; For your heart yearned for another I never could compete. But the love I felt in you Left my heart and soul replete. So, I wish you every happiness For the life you long to live While the love you hold within you To another man you’ll give. Though pain now walks beside me And joy is distant past, The image of your face No vista could surpass. I feel honoured to have loved you And honoured that you cared, For in a brief ecstatic moment I dreamt and hoped and shared. I heard beauty in children’s laughter And in the wonderment of you, For I loved you as no other, I only hope you knew. Poetry is just the evidence of life. |
