How long has it been when last we met?
Seems like yesterday when time reset
Two strangers seeking common ground
Hello, how are you? I’m still around
You haven’t changed much, you look great
There’s much to cover since our first date
You have a family? Who’s the lucky mate?
Remember yesteryear when we wanted to wait?
Time has a funny way of changing lives
I’ve missed you since our last good-bye
Can you sit a spell and let us catch up?
Or better yet we could sup
I understand you’ve go to go
You’re busy now for that Bordeaux
Remember when we sipped at midnight
I held you in my arms so tight
Is but a memory of love’s past
I knew then it wouldn’t last
But I held on to the dream of love forever
Tis like a knife my heart is severed
Please don’t go just yet, my love
For we thought our love was ordained above
Why waste our time with platitudes
Love plays hurtful tricks with ingratitude
Leave if you must I understand
For we’ve changed since our love began
Too many years have hardened our hearts
Once beating together, never to part
How long will it be before we meet again?
Never, I pray, for I cannot bear the pain
This is a great write, with a lot of insight. I think you hit a universal mistake people often make with this line... "For we thought our love was ordained above." Good job.
