Thinking Back


I regret our time was short
And that it lasted so long
I thought I would be strong
But strength isn’t my forte.
Still I think of you in ways
That will never, ever be
I wonder what you see
Do you think of me these days?

You were my one and only
Gave me a sense of pride
With you there, by my side
Never again felt lonely.
It seems like a fantasy
And it felt real and true
What was there I could do
To keep you right beside me?

You said it over and again
That we could never last
Even though that’s the past
I can’t stop thinking of then.
I browse through old poems
Written within a trance
God, I never stood a chance
You already had another home.
