Works In Progress

Loved and Lost? Never!

It was not that I gave up on love and romance,
It was just not a part of a conscious plan.
My life was happy and balanced,
Even if it didn't include a dream man.

My dream man is no dream at all,
No one else could ever come close.
Perfect in every way and no further than a phone call,
He is still the one I turn to when I feel lost.

Years ago he came to me,
He stood by me for so long.
He promised we would be happy,
I missed my chance and he was gone.

I was careless and hurt him deeply,
He could not just forgive and forget.
So now "just friends" is all we are and all we'll ever be,
And I'm happier with this, than with a marriage filled with regret.
