Past Love

When I see him standing there,
My heart starts to ruthlessly pounding
I decide to say a silent prayer
Asking God for His expedient blessing

Thoughts of our time together
Create pictures inside my mind
But I refuse to grow bitter
Because I know love is blind

The memories quiet my dreams
Of all that might have been with him
True love isn’t all that it seems
The sparkle in my eyes grows dim

He walks over and smiles toward me
I feel the heat rise in my face
Hoping that he won’t see
I pray for God’s amazing grace

Before he has the chance to say hello
I turn and walk out the door
Refusing to go with the flow
Realizing that I want more

Our time together is in the past
Times filled with hope, faith and love
But the memories will forever last
They are gifts from God above
