Time Was





Time was our hearts spoke one to one

Instead of now, its pen to paper

Time was gentler then

Like the wind blowing a cool breeze on a warm night

Easily resting it's soft whisper, on the recipient to savor





Time was, words spoken instead of now written

Time was precious then; even the blizzard was our friend

Speaking softly to our hearts word for word, one flake at a time

Calling yours to join mine with passion to lend





Like fine wine, aged with time, our love like poetry flowed

Like the sun to the shine, the melody to the music

Entwined in togetherness, our faces all aglow





In some ways, seems like yesterday

In others, so long ago

Time was, we couldn't wait for our hearts dance

Our steps in time, our hearts in rhyme...our oneness' poetry flowed





Yes, time was our friend then, gentler, easier, and fancy free

We danced like no one was watching

Now we watch, while no one dances

The same hearts, in a different time weep





Maybe only one heart weeps

While another stands suspended in time

One relives the passion constantly

When two equaled one, time was our friend,

Time was, When one called you "Sunshine"

Instead now, the sun refuses to shine





Time Was,

When your dreams, and future plans, was exactly, the same as mine

time was then, time was our friend

instead now, second after second, we run,

straight out of time
