LETTING GO June 28, 1992, was the first day I spent getting to know you Who thought we would become lovers? Who knew? You shared with me your favorite place on Earth It was here that our love was given a beautiful birth You introduced me to your family and friends If we disagreed, we quickly made amends We found some roommates and shacked up in a house We made love in the mirrors, sometimes quiet as a mouse Parties, fights, friends, wild nights, and Christmas cheer, Not every memory is fond, but each one is near A year had gone by and we finally got our own place, This clearly put a smile upon my face Together we built a home to call our own And when we were apart, we talked on the phone Your family took me under their tender wing Being accepted and loved is a remarkable thing We made love and we made memories to last a life time I’d do anything for you at the drop of a dime Years gone by, we looked at the discord in our dreams People do change, no matter how unlikely it seems We kept trying to put it aside and let love prevail, But it wasn’t enough, this romantic kinship did fail We speak of everlasting friendship, yet you can’t look me in the eye You’ll always have a place in my heart, though I feel I could die We don’t know what the future will hold I prayed for you to be the perfect mold We have to be strong and put this behind For in time, a new love each of us will find When this transpires, I know I’ll ponder what could’ve been I’ll remember the times we shared, I’ll remember when... You used to look into my eyes before you turned out the light Put your arms around me and hold me so very tight *Good Night Sweetheart* was so sweet to my ears, The comfort of your arms dissipated all my fears Someday another woman will hear those words and feel your touch Sometimes I wish I could take back time so it wouldn’t ache so much Now I must say good-bye to the love of my life Until November 20, 1995, I thought you’d take me as your wife But I amBirth sign: Not entered
