| haven't posted a poem here for ages so if this is already here my apologizes. this is a real story Love Won and Lost
I chanced upon her on a greying autumn day
She smiled just briefly, then pressed on; was I just in the way?
I thought there was a flicker there, a glance that stayed just longer
And as our paths crossed more that year that flickering glance grew stronger
I'm not sure when we crossed that line that said this is forbidden
But by then the die had been cast down our passions wildly drive
We grasped at every moment like it was the last on earth
We laughed and cried and held onto that love for all its worth
I guess we knew that we were heading for a cliff top like decision
That would test us to the very core, cloud even loves clear vision
We skirted round that fatal day, Still talked about tomorrows
Said we would work it out somehow despite surrounding sorrows
We went our separate ways again promising not for ever
We phoned, we wrote and tried to meet but the demons were too clever
With broken hearts and heavy steps we trudged our separate paths
As as the time grew longer, our souls were all but trashed
I guess it finished on a 'high' of love and pain and longing
You get on with your life and find some more belonging
We wrote much later in the years and reminisced like lovers
We thought the painting would not dry but the laquer tears had covered
As I look back on all my paths ours was the brightest moment
Just for a while time did stand still and give us joys enthronement
I think I met an angel then sent down to test and steal me
And whisper "love that can't be shared is counterfeit believe me":copyright: davo
