Past of me and you

Past of me and you

I know you see me looking back at you
You looked at me up in front as well
Years have passed but no space between
If only you had said and I could tell

We passed each other along many path
Yet strangers we will only ever be
Clasping our hands and wishing more
None were granted us that I could see

Did you remember all the promises made
To him and her and those over there
How many were eventually kept I wonder
No matter now no need or heed left to care

There was a life in there somewhere no?
Perhaps there was but it flew by so fast
What happened to all those we loved?
Oh things like love and loss will never last

There were words and laughs upon wind
And moments shared that can never repeat
A rose granted to the wrong strangers hand
Lost was the girl who smiled on the street

Where are the glasses I am I am sure I held
Like the wine you once spilled onto the couch
A laugh too much a sparkle held in the eye
And placed safely into memory's pouch

Dancing in the rain and the cool of the stone
Pounding the steps beneath the feet to train
Looking out from hill at the life we had led
Known memory fading is the worst of all pain

Here we are again my friend up the same road
You were me in another life and I you today
The same we are always but never to be alike
Waits for none, returns to none, time won't stay.
