Times Gone By

You never asked a thing from me,

except to love you uncondtionally.

You never asked for promises or the moon,

except the truth, and suddenly you were gone far too soon.

Never had a real chance to make your life seem whole,

never had the chance for you to see how far for love I would go.

Never will I know another that graced my life,

one to be willing to have as my best friend and wife.

Now the moments of each precious second realized,

knowing the day you left, a part of me had died.

Thirty years have come and gone,

and still I whisper your name in an unheard song.

Why are we on this earth we often ask,

and the answer drives me to a simple answered task.

Destiny propelled us to clash and claim each others heart,

and each day I wake, smiling, thinking of you, is how I start.

What end to my life there will be matters not,

for one day, your eyes, your smile, I shall again see.
