of_a_lost_loveOf a Lost love
I sit now just thinking
of how my life is going
right on the current course
but the effects are not yet showing
Life is great for me
but there is still the pain
of a long lost love
my tears fall like rain
It's not as bad as before
a pale echo now that time
has continued to flow
now but a subject for a rhyme
This is not to trivialize it
for the pain is still great
and sometimes I want to run
to reclaim my lost love
It might be nice to see
my darling Melody again
just to see how she is doing
and to let her know my love remains
How much will I give to see her
would I really drop everything to go
yes if such a trip were possible
I would drop everything and go
