Torn pages of notebooks
Sketches of how you look
Scribbled hearts and arrows
Plans of tomorrow
Your name and my name
And a promise that never came.
More than a decade between us
How time moved so fast
Our lives went unrelated
Detached and separated
But fate must have its way
Left us with nothing to say.
We took that one chance
If only at a glance
We can let this feeling go
To what is real and might grow
It was there long before
Gone too soon for us to explore.
Now, our lives are still apart
Both of us, back from the start
Confused and unreconciled
A vow you must abide
Have to stay away from your life
Because you are now someone else’s wife
Memories of stolen moments
A love that was never meant
Remain with photographs and gifts
Full of unfinished dreams and grief
Of things of what might have been
In a box…forever unseen.
