When you were mine <br />I held some reason and rhyme <br />A Jacobs ladder to climb <br />Sweet days of roses and wine. <br />Back then our hearts were new <br />As newborn stars turned out to view <br />That restless ocean of blue. <br />Our souls kissed once <br />And flew. <br />When you were mine <br />And we would sit, candlelit <br />And dine <br />That laughter of another another time <br />Those harmonies that <br />Now i can only mime. <br />Tears always follow after love sublime <br />The hollow silence of decline. <br />That heartbreak in slow motion <br />Yet I say that I'm just fine <br />God, what gave me the notion <br />That you were ever mine. <br /> <br />Copyright Kevin East.<br /><br />Kevin East<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-were-mine/
