Time stood still this summers day <br />I asked her the ultimate question <br />and offered her the key to my heart <br />she looked at me with a sad expression <br /> <br />Minutes passed but seemed like hours <br />as I waited for her to answer me <br />she looked me straight in the eye <br />and said I am sorry I cannot agree <br /> <br />Everything around me seemed to still <br />as I fought to make sense of her part <br />not a sound could be heard by anyone <br />nor even the beating of my heavy heart <br /> <br />I always thought our life was inevitable <br />that we would grow old together as one <br />but now she has told me it is not to be <br />my life feels over before it has begun<br /><br />Teresa Reck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-stood-still-3/
