Where Did We Stand

Happy and free

Loving and loved

Joyful and proud

Caring and safe

This was how I felt

When I was in your arms

Knowing that you cared

With your wonderful charms

It lasted for a while

Then it changed so very fast

I wondered where it went

Why didn't it last

You said you couldn't try

That it wouldn't work

I just wanted to hide

Where no feelings could lurk

Then you left one day

And things got better

I went on with life

Still hoping for a letter

Nothing ever came

Just mine always going

My feelings all poured out

Like a river flowing

Then one day it came

What I had been waiting for

I heard from you

My heart began to cry from the core

We talked so very long

Wondering how we felt

Things going smooth

Like a bran new leather belt

The conversation came to a close

It was time to say goodbye

With many things left unsaid

Yet not without a try.
