Stephen Tefft Poet Rhyme

The Ghost of a Chance

I'm haunted each night by the ghost of a chance.
Softly she sings of forgotten romance.
And I lie awake just to watch her dance
	In the moonlight from the window.
Appearing before me, impossibly fair.
An echo of memory, lighter than air.
And I cannot touch her, but she knows I'm there.
	And if she cares, I don't know...

		And I wish I could just forget.
		But it hasn't happened to me yet.
		Now here she comes, before me she stands
		The ghost, the ghost of a chance...

I'm haunted each night by the ghost of a chance.
Softly she sings of forgotten romance.
And I long to hold her but I know that I can't...
