Never Got the Chance

Never Got the Chance 
By
Kevin L Fairbrother

I’ve moved on for I never got the chance
To share the feelings I have deep down
My wounded heart bears the pain
For there is a chance we will never meet again

We shared the moments of our past
We conversed about our travels our hopes
For the future is unknown to us all
We live our days and our dreams untold

But a spark was born but failed to ignite
Moments of compassion, moments of care
Holding hands, bodies close and entwined
Together we felt as one with what was unfolding

Kissing and cuddling holding each other so tight
We could have reached the heights we so desired
But the pain and loss of the past tempered the flame
For it was not to be, for the past hurt was real

You became reserved went back in your shell
The time and place was not right for you
I understood, I could not bring myself to hurt you
I walked away saying goodnight sweet dreams

You left, you ran away with the past haunting you
We never got a moment or a chance to say goodbye
But I have the memory of those magic moments
Moments of chance that I will always remember
