Month: November 2012

Old Guard.

We held each other’s hands,
And stared deeply in each other’s eyes,
Our feelings could not be formed into words,
All that could be heard were nervous sighs,
We’d decided to break it off,
Though none of us knew the reason why,
We let go and each stood far – off,
We both turned away without even a good
They had been the best months of my life,
And I had sworn to myself that I’d never let go,
All that we’d meet in life, our love would survive,
I was so confident but little did I know,
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, people say,
But no one said anything about too much distance,
One day your love was crossing my heart like a ray,
And the next, it felt like I’d been stabbed with a lance.

We hold each other’s hands,
And I stare deeply into your eyes,
I’m letting you know all that I feel,
As I feel your pulse racing.
And all the fear in my heart dies.
On the treaty of our love, I put my seal
Then quickly turn back to where I was facing.
You better start to speak,
Or here we’ll stand forever.
Say to me the answers that I seek,
Or nullify my endeavour.
I silently watch as your face explodes into emotions,
Your eyes tear up as you realize what we had lost.
You look up to me as you use my chest as a cushion,
And a magical smile tells me the most.
It was a mistake from the beginning,
Walking away was just an act of denial.
Fortunately we realized it when we felt the longing,
To be in each other’s arms and both our hearts in speed dial.

I remember the days we had,

Good times that we shared.

Nothing could make us sad,

So much, for each other we cared.

I thought your eyes were like stars,

And you said no one could be sweeter.

Our love was incomparable to a hundred cars,

Who’d have thought it would turn so bitter.

I mistakenly served you a diet coke,

You said I thought you were fat.

You split coffee on my favorite book,

I thought you treated me like dirt.

You said you couldn’t take it any more,

Angrily I said I’d been waiting to hear just that.

In a split second you packed and slammed the door,

Fortunately you didn’t pack what I hid in my heart.

Today I stand before you,

Asking for a second chance,

Our love is going to dance.

In each other’s arms we are going to dance.

I know I didn’t do all the wrongs,

But I am sorry for all of them.

I’m sorry for ignoring your favorite songs,

I know all of them by name.

I’m sorry I was lost for words to say,

When you found my earlier photos in a wallet

I’m sorry I forgot to pay the bills,

And pretending it was your time to pay.

I’m sorry for soiling the kitchen with peels,

And saying I would clean up later in the day.

I’m sorry for forgetting to say I was sorry,

This could have cleared our problems at once.

I’m sorry for thinking I was too much a load to carry,

For you to give me a life long second chance.
