Words In The Wind

Once we walked a path together under skies so vast and blue Words exchanged in heated fervor till our hearts split in two Years rolled on the silence grew each prideful word a stone Walls we built from stubborn bricks left us both alone If only time could turn like pages in a book If only pride would burn and give us back the looks Moments lost moments sought in the echoes of our mind A chance to say the words unspoken now impossible to find Seasons changed and so did I but the phone lay still untouched Fears of yielding saying sorry felt like giving up too much Yet in quiet times I'd wonder through the window of my soul Then the call came on a Sunday the world stood stark and still The voice on the line was trembling a chill met my will Gone the hands that once held mine in the days of youthful gleam Gone the chance to bridge the distance to mend the broken seam Now I walk this path alone with your shadow by my side Regrets whisper through the leaves with each step I bide If just once more to hold you to say what's in my heart To tell you that I love you and hate that we're apart But time won't turn and pages stick in the book we left behind Yet I hope you hear my heart's cry carried on the wind's kind Moments lost yet love remains in the whispers of the night Till the stars bring us together in their gentle eternal light
