" Your Heart Within My Hand "

In a life I've yet to live
I hold your heart within my hand,
And all the love I have to give
finds a home within one man,

All the promises one makes
just to have what they hold dear,
Are set aside by the mistakes
that separate you through the years,

A moment lost becomes regret
an err you may never recover,
But the heart refuses to forget
a love it's failed to discover,

My love like a forgotten friend
comes at times out of the blue,
As much as I could have loved you then
isn't near as much as I now love you,

Like a flower well beyond it's blush
preparing for the Winters coming cold,
My love reclines into a softened hush,
as peaceful sleep unfolds,

I've blamed myself but now forgive
not having you was not the plan,
Like the flower I dream of a life yet to live

holding your heart within my hand....

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In another life somewhere, another time, another place, I believe we are together....If only in a dreamfilled sleep.....You, are the only real regret in my life.. I Love You...

:)

what a gem how did I miss this!?!

 

I have for sure felt this way before and some parts of it just rolled of my tongue

bets bit:

 

"In a life I've yet to live

I hold your heart within my hand,
And all the love I have to give
finds a home within one man,"


and


"A moment lost becomes regret

an err you may never recover,
But the heart refuses to forget
the love it failed to discover,"


man I miss ya wish you were writing still


Much Love

Ashley
