Lost Years....

Where did the time go
So much time invested
In this here love affair
Watching my life pass me by
Holding on to a dream
That would never be mine

I could go on and on
About all my regrets
And how I wish
I could turn back
The hands of time
But,
What good would it do
It won’t give me back
The youthful years I lost

I’ll cherish the good memories
Appreciate the good times spent
Take away the love lessons
Never to make them again

You and I fit
Until we didn’t
You were the “man”
Until you weren’t
You were everything I wanted
Thought I needed
Until you weren’t

You were my surprise
Wrapped up in a pleasant bow
Until I unraveled
The whole package
And found out
You weren’t who I thought you was

I don’t miss you
Truth be told
I miss the old you
That once was
Everything I longed for
And more

I would say
See you in the next life
But,
I no longer believe that to be true
So, this is it
We part ways forever
I finally learned the lesson
So, I get to pass go
