Hidden in the shadows of her mind, <br /> there are some reasons that the lady cannot find, <br /> I could not see them as they were, <br /> I didn't see enough, or read the signs, <br /> Her true past is only seen by her, <br /> ... as I alone see mine. <br /> ... I love her still and guess I will, <br /> for quite a long, long time. <br /> <br /> There was a space, a special place, <br /> where she and I would go, <br /> in our hearts were shipwrecked parts, <br /> of the journeys we have known. <br /> Some say that it was meant to be, <br /> that ships would run aground, <br /> that love would end up lost at sea, <br /> with partial dreams not found. <br /> <br /> I wish we could have found the way, <br /> and made a different yesterday, <br /> I sometimes wish she'd come and talk, <br /> I wish that she would walk with me, <br /> ... and show me things that I won't see, <br /> out in the rainy sunshine... <br /> I love her and I guess I will, <br /> for quite a long, long, time!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-long-long-time/
