Do you recall those tender nights <br />You came to me with open arms <br />And a bottle of wine under your jacket? <br /> <br />Those nights we loved with pure desire <br />The fleeting moments hot as fire <br />Breathless in your warm embrace <br />You traced the angles of my face <br />And gazed on me with longing eyes <br />My temperature began to rise <br />You dipped your finger in the wine <br />Then traced my lips, your touch divine <br />So sensual, your thoughts were clear <br />And then you whispered in my ear, <br />'I want you......................' <br /> <br />Do you recall the way we danced <br />Naked - how our minds were tranced <br />The world outside no longer there <br />It meant so much that you would dare <br />To risk it all to be with me <br />For love - my kiss could set you free <br />And though I knew you could not stay <br />My inner child came out to play <br />So innocent, yet wild and free <br />I let you have your way with me <br />So many times you tempted fate <br />To hold me close, you couldn't wait <br />To share with me your hopes and dreams <br />You loved me then but now it seems............... <br /> <br />So long ago and far away <br />And yet the love's still here today <br />At least for me, deep in my heart <br />The memories remain a part <br />Of everything I am today - <br />Oh, how I wished that you would stay <br />But you moved on, I could not hold <br />Your love, and now your heart is cold, <br />That heart that once had opened wide <br />And beckoned me to come inside, <br />That heart that meant the world to me <br />Somehow was never meant to be.................... <br /> <br />Mine.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-meant-to-be-2/
