Softly as a gentle breeze, <br />Love crept into my heart <br />So softly I did not realize <br />Until we came to part. <br />'Twas then that love so suddenly <br />Grew claws, and without warning <br />Clamped around my heart and left <br />Me bleeding and in mourning. <br />So stunned was I by this attack, <br />I did not cry out 'stay! ' <br />And, frowning at my silence, <br />You turned and walked away. <br />I never knew, until you left, <br />How much you'd meant to me <br />And now you're gone, I guess <br />Our love was never meant to be.<br /><br />Bridgid Patrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-meant-to-be/
