I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away I remember the days we had together Now our relationship weathers I wish I had just one more minute but I let it slip away Come back for I miss you but I can't bring myself to renew when I look into your eyes my heart lies I miss you all to much I regret letting it slip away Your eyes are like embers small and weak but when I first met you the embers grew into flames Big strong and proud But now there is no strong fire the embers have died down Now all that remains Is the ashes of the fire that one stood proud I remember the day I let it slip I have noting to say but I'm sorry Come back for I need you to carry on I let it slip away. --------------------------------------- I let it slip away poetry contest Sponsor: John lawless 5/30/23
