Poem
Discovery As she walked through my life, she simply kissed me goodbye. She was only with me for a moment; a moment in time. But then she was gone from me and all I could do is cry. I guess we never get the chance, to love for life. As the years all rushed passed me and experiences made me grow; I thought about her all my life and where she is I just don’t know. But each night I send a firework, flying high into the sky. Maybe one day she will see my signal flare and she will send me a sign. As my eyes begin to fade and all my hair has now turned grey; I guess she just isn’t coming back to me; I guess alone I have to stay. I sure did have a good life and I married my beautiful wife; But she has passed away, three years now And I still can’t get her off my mind. I wish I could have been with her, for the rest of my life, But some things they just ain’t meant to be; I never said it would all turn out alright. I lost you in my youth and now I’ve lost my second love too. I know I should be grateful, but all my thoughts return to you. So many years without you near, I would just like to understand. I know you had to find yourself, but did you ever find your man? Or was I the one you think about, the one you could come back too? I hope you think of me from time to time; I hope to see you soon. You had to leave to find yourself; Well, did you find your way? Have you discovered what you needed to find? I can only remember the day you walked away. Have you completely lost yourself in love and did you raise a family? Our time stopped, the day I watched you slowly walking out on me. I guess you carry your own memories; I wish they had been mine, But fate decided we would part And follow our own paths. Have your discovered, how to just, leave it all behind? I never did; I never did stop loving you, But now I know… You’re never coming back. (C)2017 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
