No heart ever survived
A broken arrow
No heart ever revived
A fallen sparrow

You touched my soul
You took control
I let you in
You got under my skin

Hold me again
Like you remember when
No need to explain
Just cover my pain

It’s alright
To stay the night
There’s nothing left to say
Don’t wake me in the morning
Just touch me
And walk away♥

The sea hugs the shore
The breeze caresses the leaves
The light awakens the morning
Love appears without warning

Nothing remains single
Arranged in pairs
Lives intermingle
Forever theirs

It is yet
To be seen
What comes
Between

It is me
What can I do
To prove?
It is you
Eras Tu♥

Love is a photo
Recorded for time
A secret place
Always there to remind

Kept in a wallet
Placed in a pocket
Close to the heart
Stored in a locket

Love’s painted picture
There to renew
Broken hearts
Telling you

Love’s smile
Love’s eyes
Love’s beauty
That never dies

Buried in a photo deep inside
A place where the heart
Goes to hide
timeless
Forever
A gentle place
Where lovers can meet face to face

Moments of memory I have but a few
As time presses on my thoughts are on you
Though distance and time have kept us apart
Your youth and your beauty are still in my heart

Moments of memory cling to my being
In time and space it’s you that I’m seeing
Though destiny has left us forever no more
The dreams that I dream I keep them in store

Moments of memory alive in my heart
Visions of a love that will never depart
Secrets we shared are forever eternal
A diary of sorts
A true lover’s journal

Moments of memory keep me deep in sorrow
For days that I wish I could once again borrow
For some say, “Let the past be the past”
But my heart tells a different  tale of one
That will last

Moments of memory grow dim as I write
Knowing that you are no longer in sight
Moments of memory that I choose to save
Will follow me forever to rest in my grave

I think about her in many ways
Memories left over from yesterdays
When everything was hers and mine
When love was our eternal valentine

I came alive when first we met
You woke up my silent heart
You took my dreams and made them real
I died the day we had to part

Now you are someone I’ll always love
Someone I share in my reverie
While I’ll go on without you
And this love may never come again
Nothing will ever be as it has been
For our love was meant for eternity.
.

I’ll never fall this way again
When I fell in love
She caught me
And although she’s gone
She never let go
It’s been that way
And yet even today
I often wonder why
Only love knows the truth
She belonged to my youth♥

.

How do you?
Erase an image
When the heart says no

Lose a memory
When the heart says no

Dry your tears
When the heart says no

Relieve the sadness
When the heart says no

Dismiss the fragrance
When the heart says no

Say good-bye
When the heart says no

How do you know?
Only those who have truly loved and lost so
Can appreciate why
The heart says no♥
*****************

Oh how I wish
I didn’t love you so

Why does man fall in love?
Why does the heart make it happen?
Why does it tell you to feel that way?
Not to let go
Never caring how much pain or hurting so
It awakens your desires
It stirs your passions
It plays with your thoughts
You long for relief
Your heart tells you no
It tells you to follow
“Let me take you where no man has ever been
A place where love begins”

It leads you on a journey through love’s hidden places:
Romance
compassion
Sorrow
Grief
Jealousy
Love’s other traces
It shows you its beauty
It tells you of its charms
You taste its sweetness
The fragrance of its passion
You touch its essence wrapped in meekness

It lifts you back and tells you why
Love never sleeps
Love never tires
Revealing itself at a moment’s try
Love gives a nudge
Love gives a shove
As it has always been
Love awakens love

How can words ever explain how
I truly feel inside
Words cannot express nor words describe
A love I tried, but failed to hide
For words have no meaning without emotion
They play to the heart
A true lover’s devotion

It’s a tragedy not to love
Or not to give love in return
But worst of all
To love and not to be loved in return
This I have learned
I fell in love just once and it had to be you
The only real love in my life I did not pursue

Too many years wasted
Too many tears tasted
Too many days cut out
Too many nights gone without

If only I could have seen you
Walking down the aisle
Beautiful in white
If only I could have seen you
Holding our child
Smiling with delight

But fate was never on our side
And destiny was our enemy
And although we may never see tomorrow
No regrets, no pain, no sorrow

And although we may never see forever
And never say never is never-ever
I will always cling to what could have been
Comforted by the love that lies within♥

It’s all about that moment in time
I left while I was still in love
But love never ends because you don’t see each other
It waits for that moment to rediscover

A memory is a beautiful thing
When you don’t have to deal with the past
For a memory is never finished
If love is ever to last
You live a memory over and over in mind
For it reminds you of the love
The love you left behind

Inside a moment you’ll find other moments
Moments of: tears, happiness, sorrow, joy
Moments you hope to recapture
Moments you want to remember
Moments you struggle to forget
Moments where love lives yet

Moment to moment life leads you along
For moments in time are all we’re given
Each moment precious
All worth livin’
Waiting for that moment
When two moments meet again
Forever together
Never-ever to play
The lover’s swan song
