Lovers Once

Lovers once
          Lovers Still

The magic can

          The magic will

Obscure the future

          Cloud the past

Body to Body

          May not last

Yet soul to soul

          And mind to mind

No truer treasure

          Can one find

I knew you once

          I love you still

I always have

          I always will

Though time and distance

          Come between

You will always be

          What you’ve come to mean

A place that’s safe

          For my heart to rest

In my heart and mind

          Always the best

That life had to offer

          A poor soul like me

Even if “we”

          Weren’t meant to be

I’ll dream of what

          I had and lost

I’ll feel the pain

          And rue the cost

That I have caused

          And I have paid

For the choices that

          I have made

I’ll mourn my part

          In all of this

Wishing you future joy

          And future bliss

That never was mine

          Though I held it near

Whenever you let me

          Hold you, dear.
