We just never know

When life deals us a heavy blow

And our time here is without cheer

When the sun refuses to shine

in our hearts, full time.

~

As the days pass in seemingly endless procession

and the time passes in lonely reflection.

Full of regrets and broken promises.

~

Our time can be only endured.

~

Time doesn't heal

a broken heart.

Nor does it feel

the pain when apart.

~

But, time passes anyway

uncaring of the reasons we cry.

Reflections with pain

memories without gain

mimic only nightmares.

~

Better is the fondness

generated in love.

~

Remember those tender thoughts

which filled your hearts.

Remember those endless

moments of quality time

and cherish them

~

forever...
