Pages of the past
sit within my book of time.Yellowed photos of us
remind me of when you were mine.Caught within my memories,
I pause upon life's pages.Mixed emotions fill me up,
as your face my eye engages.Do you ever find yourself
drifting back to your memories of me?
Do you find yourself happy in the present,
never wondering about how it could be?We're both so very far from the past,
far away from pages long ago written,
but I can't help going back to read them,
for with the past I am hopelessly smitten.Every page I turn
brings me closer to then,
and pictures fill my mind.I feel the laughter and love,
the tears and the pain,
but still I read on,
losing to the pages of time;
the time when you were never really mine.I drift back and forth
from then to now.Smiles find my face as I remember,
along with an occasional raised eyebrow.We were young and innocent,
in the photos, we were happily entwined.I've overplayed the splitting up part,
repeatedly seeing the pictures in my mind.Setting down my book of old,
I know it needs to go back upon the dusty shelf.Cobwebs will soon embrace it once again,
as I return to my present-day self.I'm writing all new pages,
pushing forward with my life. |
| I'm writing all new pages,
pushing forward with my life.It's no longer filled with pain and sorrow,
for I closed that book of strife.My thoughts drift one more time,
across the miles to where you are.I wonder if I ever cross your mind,
now that you've become a superstar?Laughing at myself
for even thinking such a thing.At being distant and self-absorbed,
you were the master and king.Every page I turn
brings me closer to then,
and pictures fill my mind.I feel the laughter and love,
the tears and the pain,
but still I read on,
losing to the pages of time;
the time when you were never really mine.The telephone rings and makes me jump,
and I can't believe your call is true.We talk for a bit and I realize
I'm no longer the nave innocent child
that was once so hopelessly in love with you.The pages of time have turned,
and the story of old is no longer.I am happy living in the present,
where I have become forever stronger.I smile as I think about it,
it is so very true;
you're simply part of my history,
and I'm so very over you!---- 2008 Creative_Soul (M.) ---- |
