Live Long And Love Hard

I often wonder what I would say to you

If I ever had a chance, not that I will,

I’ve thought long and hard for the words

Although I’m sure I’m in denial still.

***

I listened to all you had to say to me

Disappointingly I believed your words,

Allowing my walls to tumble down

Looking back now I know it was absurd.

***

One day I’m in total denial, it’s not true

Then I remember and my anger rises,

At night I’ll cry just a tear or maybe two

As I admit there’ll be no happy surprises.

***

I would tell you how you made me feel

When you cowardly walked away again,

Classic case of fool me once, shame on you

But I forgave you and yet you did the same.

***

That makes it “shame on me” I know

I won’t regret that forgiveness, even now,

I felt you deserved a second chance

But it stops there, no more, I’ll not allow.

***

Love hard, live long and be so very happy

It is exactly that, I would want you to know,

Find your path, dream large, don’t give up

I wish for you the best life you need to grow.
