Poezja

I still can see your face
In an unexpected place
On TV or on the street

I can see your smile
Every once in awhile
Though, it was bitter-sweet

My thoughts slip back
As I close my eyes
To think of darker times

You were on your knee
Pleading, asking please
So sure I would not retreat

So crushed you were
When I shook my head
Too shaken to even speak

You knew before asking
Just what I’d say
But took a chance anyway

Again, I shake my head
and with no regret
Event though you cried and begged

Still, I would not commit
My heart belonged to another
A true love above all other

That is not what we were
This, I will not bend
So please do not contend

If you say you love me
Let me go for if I stayed
I may not love you in the same way
