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 ©2014 by Regina Riddle
