Love In Reverse

My love, were you as steadfast as I, We'd drive the neverending chain link of a bond unbreakable and rev towards the fever of a solidified love affair. Yet, I ride alone in despair and pass scenes of you falling out of love with me. From our last I love you to our first hello, I see the twinkle in your eyes fade for me. And of all reasons to brake for break, you change gears with good intent... And I find that to be the most painful. Knowing, that I alone was not enough to heal your fractured sense of self... A failure I shall regret until I unlearn my first memory... For to have known you, is the one ride of my thoughts that contained pure freedom. Now, they fade in the wind shield as I do 100 to 0 in the lane of smitten wonder. And should I be able to forget the best of you, I pray by moonlight that reverse becomes forward, and I can catch your smile in my dreams without knowing your face again. Just an image of an unknown purpose that lives around the corner of time and patience. It is there, on this blind faith avenue, that I will carry you back home from the life we never had the chance to live...
