~Looking Back~

As I look back on the times we shared,
I know in my heart we really cared.
We laughed, we loved and it was great.
Both of us felt we had found our mate.

But through the months and the years that passed,
We came to realize our love wouldn't last.
Because of roadblocks that stood in our way,
Without family support, I couldn't plan for a day.

Somehow we changed, each of us, during that time
And still we tried desperately to say "You're mine."
Hurtful words spoken that made me cry,
Many days, tearful, I had to ponder, "Why?"

Where are we now?
What caused the change?
How did our love get so disarranged?
It wasn't supposed to happen - for you and me
You and I should be forever "WE".

Yet, looking back all I can see
Is my love for you and your love for me.
Why can't I forget and move on with my life?
Why do my memories create such strife?

I don't have the answers that I need to know
To move forward with my life - will they ever show?
For looking back, I know I was blessed
'Cause you were in our "good times", the absolute best!

Looking back - I know I should not do;
But, tell me please...
How do I forget YOU?

You may only be one person to the world.
But you may also be the world to one person.
