Your face crosses my memory pathways
Often fondly and sometimes with sadness
I wish you were with me always
But we've covered that ground and we left in a mess
I loved you too much and you
loved me too little
Perhaps we'd be together if we'd just
met in the middle
Your smile and voice enchanted my mind
Your luscious lips seemed like
ripe fruit on the vine
I thought that my love was all that was needed
I boldly moved in when
it was tact that may have
succeeded
I will never ever forget you and your charm
I cherished you
and hoped love would last
I'm gradually learning though to not live in the past
Your face crosses my memory pathways
Perhaps I'll save the
fond memories
and toss out all sad
Realizing that that none were totally bad
I've learned from you
how to not be so naive so I
can better fend for myself
Love and relationships have rules
and regulations too
Just loving someone tenderly
won't see you through
Society says their are procedures of norm
So to have any chance
You must sadly
Conform
Your face crosses my memory pathways
I truly hope I caused
you no harm
But life being moments of
memories I hope some
were at least
warm
