Hush-a-bye the bough may break
But dreams never happen when you’re awake
Hickory dock goes the clock
Counting time as it will
Like Jack and Jill that live on the hill
Never contrary, never blue
So simple, so innocent, so sublime
You’ll forever be my favorite nursery rhyme

Time doesn’t erase
It can never replace
A picture in mind
Of an image left behind
An exposure in black and white
Of the final night
A photo took
Of that last look♥

As the day retreats
I follow the streets
As night drew near
I sense to hear
A familiar voice
I had no choice
Anticipation held me
I turned to see
Believe when I say
I saw a memory today

I find myself frozen in time
Caught in the moment when we said our good-byes
There is nothing you can do when a romance dies
Nothing was said just the look in our eyes
And nothing will be the same as it was
For time always moves on as it does
And if I could I would make
Time stand still
If the gods so will
But I know when my life’s spirit is set free
And I see the angels descend at my journey’s end
I will see you again

“The pain of parting is nothing
To the joy of meeting again”
Charles Dickens
“Nicholas Nickleby”

You can find a pebble in a stream
You can find the meaning of a dream
You can find the key to a heart
You can find the ending to a start
But where do you find love?

You can locate a special star in the sky
You can locate the truth hidden in a lie
You can locate a smile inside a tear
You can locate a wish if you stop and stare
But where do you find love?

You can discover a new distant land
You can discover pennies in the sand
You can discover the significance of life
You can discover the reason to take a stand
But where do you find love?

You can always find what you have lost
You can always find what you want no matter the cost
You can find an answer to a question
You can find the solution to a problem
But where do you find love?

You don’t want to see her, no not yet
You don’t want to remember
You don’t want to forget
For a love so perfect will only abide
When kept in a memory locked deep inside
You nourish the moments with laughter and tears
You never surrender to your doubts or fears
You cling to her vision for as long as you want it to be
For why should you spoil a perfect memory?

‘You can close your eyes to reality
But not to memory”
Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Seasons come. Seasons go
Summer heat to winter snow
Spring flowers to autumn dew
But seasons will never change my love for you

Seasons change as they will
August haze to December chill
April showers to September hue
But seasons will never change my love for you

There are seasons for love
There are seasons to regret
There are seasons to remember
There are seasons to forget

The flowers may fade
The ice may melt
The leaves may turn
The heat may subdue
But seasons will never change my love for you

Seasons come. Seasons go.
Changing in order, made to be so
The seasons pass on as they always do
But seasons will never change my love for you

Now that you’ve entered your September years
And things never seem as they appear
You glance at every mirror and try not to stare
As you watch your beauty gradually begin to disappear
Your beauty may fade and your youth slowly dies
Maybe for everyone but not for these eyes

Why do my tears continue to fall?
Why does my heart never beat?
Why do my dreams come up empty?
Why will our two hearts never meet?

Why does your heart renounce me?
Why do you reject my plea?
Why won’t our two hearts forever blend?
Why doesn’t my heart ever mend?

Why do I hold on to your memory?
Why do I never let go?
Why do the years remind me?
Why do I still love you so?

Why do you reject my gifts from the heart?
Why do you never respond?
Why don’t you surrender for a kiss or two?
Why won’t you let me be the lover you rely upon?

Why does fate deny our love?
Why does destiny refuse to step in?
Why does the world spin as it’s always been?
Why does the sun continue to rise?
Why do the moon and stars continue to shine above?
Why do I fall to my knees and pray?
For everything will remain the same as it is
100 years from today.

“Unless you love someone
Nothing else makes any sense”
E.E.Cummings
(1894-1962)

Loving is easy living it is hard
Keeping it together only goes so far
When the romance has ended and the heartache begins
Everybody loses. Nobody wins.

Love walks in love walks out
Holding on to love is what life’s all about
But life isn’t easy It’s never been
Everybody loses. Nobody wins.

You live by the rules
You play the game
But life changes
Nothing stays the same
So who decides? So who determines?
Everybody lose. Nobody wins.

Life is complicated not always fair
When it interrupts a beautiful love affair
It’s never easy as the ending begins
Everybody loses. Nobody wins
***************************

Love and life are about losing and winning
But for some the ending is just the beginning
