How a Heart Breaks
It's in the moment taken long ago
feelings that were unintended
rising in suspense to know
as every life becomes upended.
If only I could recall the scene
and these old eyes could see
those fading memories and dreams
of all that life for us was to be.
Wouldn't change a thing
not that chance first meeting
or the aftermath it should bring
when you were my everything.
We've set aside the tears
knowing one last hello is our goodbye
still laughing, sighing at the years
giving in with only our love left undenied.
Wait for me
knowing how my heart aches
for now I must let you go
this is how - a heart breaks.
