"For all sad words of tongue and pen,
 the saddest are these, 'It might have been'."              
                         ~ John Greenleaf Whittier ~


I knew that someday you would break my heart 
we loved too fast and much too strong 
the pages of our story were being torn apart
as foreshadowing moments began to unfold 
     yet we clung to our dreams of tomorrow 
     hoping for us, the best was yet to come 

I loved waking beside you in the glow of dawn
then gently falling into your welcoming arms 
For just a little while the world was beautiful 
but there were signs, I was not the one for you 
     Too soon our tomorrow filled with sorrow 
     I knew for us, the worst was yet to come 

Signs were clear that what we once held dear
no longer mattered to you. With vows forsaken
your path was taken, leading you away from me
My grief was overwhelming but you remained aloof
     turned your back, walked away and left me crying
     I knew this day of reckoning had finally come

We turned our backs on what might have been 
cherished dreams haunted by lengthening shadows 
that were swept away into the depths of the sea 
of animosity where love is never meant to dwell
     My wearied heart grew numb; a withered leaf
     falling in Autumn. For us the best will never come
