"When I look back now over my life and call to mind what I might have had simply for the taking and did not take, my heart is like to break."
William Hale White
Cry Not Cry not for that which is not yours my friend, Such tears are wasted when wept, Do not lament for love that was lost, And you never can possess again. Cry not, for the life you have chosen yourself, Decision can never come cheap, Impress on yourself what it is you will lose, If the sides are too sharp or too steep. For my glass is always half full my friend, And my banquet has plenty to share, Come with me now as we look in our hearts, And give thanks for all that resides there.
A Million Miles

A million miles away,
You may as well be,
A million miles away,
'Though you are sitting next to me.
A million tears ago,
A million years ago,
This was where I wanted to be,
When you were in love with me,
A million years ago.
Now we've lost romance,
This isn't love,
It's just a circumstance,
There's no feeling anymore,
An awkward loveless dance.
We know the steps,We move in time,
A set routine, but now I find,
You may as well be,
A million miles away,
'Though you are sitting next to me.
A million tears ago,
A million years ago,
This was where I wanted to be,
When you were in love with me,
A million years ago.
Love was a reality,We didn't need the games,
Now an eternity,We've played charades,
A love lost fatality,That's what we are today.
Not like,
A million tears ago,
A million years ago,
This was where I wanted to be,
When you were in love with me,
A million years ago.

Remember when?
Remember when we counted the minutes,
Creeping by, tortuously slow,
Until we were together again?
Remember when we met,
How your very touch ignited my soul,
And loving and kissing were as natural as breathing?
Remember when we were happy,
Just to lie in each other's arms,
Drowsily drunk on the nearness of you?
Remember when you promised
That you would always love me,
Never leave me, be with me for eternity?
Remember when we were in love?
"When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth your are weeping for that which has been your delight."
Kahlil Gibran
Just another day
�
It was your birthday today
You think I don't remember
Did you think I'd forgotten
Because we don't talk anymore
Think I can erase you from my memories so easily
Wiped from my mind
Lifted from my soul
I don't think so
�
It was your birthday today
I wonder how you spent it?
Who you were with?
What you were doing?
Where you were going?
Did you think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
As I think of you constantly.
�
It was your birthday today.
Just another day for so many people.
Just another mark in the passage of time.
Just another daily reminder
Of when you were mine.

Oscar Wilde
I Would Have Loved You
�
I remember the first time I saw you,
From that moment your smile
has been engraved on my heart.
I could have loved you,
And how I wanted you,
I just never said the words.
�
Another face in the crowd,
How could you see,
How I felt inside,
How I wanted it to be.
�
First time I felt like a thief,
Covetous, Wanting to possess,
Desire to steal you away,
Mine to caress.
�
I would have loved you,
Given you anything,
Built a castle in the air,
Made you king.
I would have loved you,
Fulfilled you fantasy,
Given you my body and my soul,
If you'd said you wanted me.
