Thinking about the loves of the past, <br />All the loves that didn't last. <br />All my loves of yesterday, <br />I wonder where they are today, <br />The close moments that we shared, <br />The loving words that said we cared. <br />I think about the ones that slipped on by, <br />I sit by myself and I wonder why, <br />One day they‘re here and next they‘re gone, <br />I understand that life goes on, <br />But still I wonder if it was meant to be, <br />Are they happier without me? <br /> <br />And if we ever meet again, <br />Could the passion be the same? <br />Would the old fires start to burn? <br />Could loving thoughts ever return? <br />Or are unspoken words left unsaid, <br />Should the past be left for dead? <br />Are they happier in their new life, <br />Watching the kids, being a wife? <br />I have to realize the die is cast, <br />Nothing can ever change the past, <br />But still I wonder if it was meant to be, <br />Are they happier without me? <br /> <br />10-01-09.<br /><br />Alan W.
