Time and Faces

She existed maybe A dozen times This girl I let Fill my mind Maybe a year Or a summer time My dreams and wishes Made her mine She was special And always was She had a look That something does And l would follow her With my eyes Her braided hair and Perfect lines Those small details That beauty defines A ribbon, a waist Or a voice divine I wished to tell her A million times And came so close So many trys How many knew This secret mine They didn't tell And nor did time My hated obsession Always defeated by shy Ever present this Fear of mine It still exist Even though I find No other obsessions That I'd call mine Only once Was I given mine And all the rest I give to time I've been in love So many times But none ever equaled That romantic bind There is nothing like What's mine is mine No satisfaction greater Than love that equals mine The trust and devotion That fills the eyes Joy and tears Between two lives Sacrifice that baffles The wise That special bond Between husband and wife I pretend this with her Who catches my eye So many days And so many lives
