Faded

Faded

I remember when we first met.
A walk in the park.
So sweet and so innocent.
A dream confirmed.
A new road to follow.
A path sure to lead to heaven.
Melting just because of your presence.
Wanting to never let you go.
Wanting to hold your hand and walk
Walk forward together in this big ole World.
Fight the fight for you.
Fight the fight for us.
So many dreams.
So many possibilities.
So many with a love so new.
So much promise.
Yes, love too.

Today, it is so different.
Time changes it all.
Perspective too.
The park has faded.
Now covered in snow.
The pond frozen.
The road not so clear.
The dreams fading.
I fight to hold onto them.
Wishing I still had you too.
Promises not to be kept.
Dreams to be let go.
Possibilities missed always.
Still so much promise.
Never to be realized.
No, fading away in the cold winter snow.
It could have been.
It should have been.
A love so true…..
truly wasted by us too.
