Love In Reverse
My love, were you as steadfast as I,
We'd drive the neverending chain
link
of a bond unbreakable and rev
towards
the fever of a solidified love affair.
Yet, I ride alone in despair and pass
scenes of you falling out of love with
me.
From our last I love you to our first
hello,
I see the twinkle in your eyes fade
for me.
And of all reasons to brake for
break,
you change gears with good intent...
And I find that to be the most
painful.
Knowing, that I alone was not
enough
to heal your fractured sense of self...
A failure I shall regret until I unlearn
my first memory...
For to have known you, is the one
ride
of my thoughts that contained pure
freedom.
Now, they fade in the wind shield as
I
do 100 to 0 in the lane of smitten
wonder.
And should I be able to forget the
best of you,
I pray by moonlight that reverse
becomes
forward, and I can catch your smile
in my
dreams without knowing your face
again.
Just an image of an unknown
purpose that
lives around the corner of time and
patience.
It is there, on this blind faith avenue,
that I
will carry you back home from the
life we
never had the chance to live...
