Come and Gone

It's better to loved and lost then never to....well, maybe not always.

There's nothing like when space and time
stops within a smile,
There's something there when all that's mine
is hers for awhile,
Alone within the breath we share
standing much too close,
Our wordless gestures in the air
as our distance grows,

Left to take a token part
never to return,
To live inside a broken heart
where a fire used to burn,
The will to be, the soul to pray
the right to carry on,
To live and dream another day
When love has come and gone,
