Maybe we weren’t meant to stay together
Flashbacks to moments frozen in time
Eyes speak the words we are longing to say
Pleading for one more kiss goodbye
Flashbacks to moments frozen in time
Songs bringing tears at every note
Pleading for one more kiss goodbye
There’s so much left unsaid
Songs bringing tears at every note
Not a day goes by where I don’t wish for a different ending
The ghost of your lips on mine haunts my dreams
No one tells you that pain doesn’t fade for awhile
Replaying the night ‘I Love You’ was whispered
Time passes whether or not you want it to
No one tells you that pain doesn’t fade for awhile
Promises lay broken on the floor
Time passes whether or not you want it to
Forever ended within a matter of months
Promises lay broken on the floor
Waiting for the day when you don’t cross my mind
Forever ended within a matter of months
Keeping up with our old friends for news
Waiting for the day when you don’t cross my mind
Not all who try succeed
Keeping up with our old friends for news
Nothing will ever be simple again
Not all who try succeed
Maybe we weren’t meant to stay together

i loved the way you repeated sentences to add my emphasise "time passes whether you want it to or not" my favourite line
WELCOME ADG ~ Thanks for an awesome first poem and a PANTOUM form (lots of repetition) as well ~ we don't see many of those on MPS. Love the form (ideal for a "love poem") and the content. I'm 33 and single ~ and I can assure you it does happen ! Right Lady ~ wrong time ! Right time ~ wrong Lady ~ I could write a book on the one's that got away ! More poems please thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
