It had been quite a few years since you went away <br />And I thought about you that's all I can say <br />You were a memory that just played a part <br />In bringing the words right out of my heart. <br />They were written on paper and I had no doubt <br />I knew the person I wrote about. <br />I held him quite high he was special and rare <br />And no one on earth could ever compare. <br />All of those years I believed that I knew <br />What I was feeling was all about you. <br />When deep down inside I never could tell <br />Becaue we never knew one another that well. <br />Life just kept moving and why I don't know <br />Your memory stayed with me wherever I'd go. <br />I believed you were someone I'd never forget <br />I was the luckiest person on earth 'cause we met. <br />Funny how people play tricks on your mind <br />The best things in life seem so hard to find. <br />After years of wondering how you had been <br />I was certain that I'd never see you again. <br />But there was a lesson I needed to learn <br />Life brought you back for a short brief return. <br />It needed to tell me that you are the past <br />This is the future going by fast. <br />There's somebody out there I'm destined to find <br />If I just move ahead and leave you behind. <br />You'll always be special in your own little way <br />I'm glad that I met you what more can I say. <br />Life is a mystery you live and you learn <br />You're a part of the past that'll never return.<br /><br />Sherri Vogel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/part-of-the-past-that-ll-never-return/
