Not This Time
Once I sat with only the ticking of the clock
By the phone I waited you said you'd call.
All that I had I put in one basket for you
You had to return I gave everything my all.
Even the letters I wrote, 'Return to sender.'
Each letter formed from the personal pen
Dipped in the scent you liked so very much.
Shall I wait for you now as I did then?
No not this time.
Living on memories of what you meant to me
Your sweet nothings whispered in my ear.
Broken promises from you -you did freely give
From an imagined love one not really here.
I was surely taken to that one moment in time
With closed eyes I took in all of your view.
Savored each emotion seemed so real to me
Shall I wait in hopes to live my life with you.
Not This Time
