If He Only Knew

She thinks about him constantly Sometimes, more than she wants to Her thoughts get carried away A life that only exists in her dreams Memories of times they once shared Days when they talked for hours on end Through good times and bad She longs for those times again Distance has made life difficult They both have tried to move on He seems to have found someone new But for her, no one compares Her heart aches when hope fails Times passes without a word The days seem longer now Sometimes, she can’t even sleep She doesn’t understand Where is this man she once knew? She fell in love with him long ago Their fate seems twisted by distance Each day brings renewed hope Her heart still open to love Hoping her pain will lessen Destiny still in her dreams If only he knew Copyright © 2006 Shari E Davis
