Though the Ship Had Sailed

though that ship had sailed ~ was my ship
I'm standing on the dock, still watching
with a mixture of sad feelings
which exist inside my lonely heart

thoughts meanders throughout my head
one of those thoughts I have come to know
now, I have the what it's ~ what if
I had met her twenty years ago

our lives might have been different
I would love her as she would love me
living our lives to the fullest
respecting each other everyday

though that ship had sailed, we have not
this friendship goes far beyond friendship
a love does exist between us
as friends who will love cause they are friends

we simply are the best soulmates
forever and always her and I

It's like your inner thoughts spilled a dream onto paper, a treasured dream and a sincere fantasy wrapped in both longing and acceptance. It is emotional and I was touched by the depth of feeling ... CayCay
