~ Love Slipped
Away ~
I sadly watch each
day
as our love just
slips away
Where and why does
love go
slipping away in a
steady flow?
Little words of
love not said,
Uncaring words I
hear instead.
The tender look I
used to see
No longer do
you show to me.
When I listen to
"our" song
I wonder what went
wrong.
Can love
just slowly
disappear?
With reason being
so unclear?
Could it
be only time alone
That turned your
heart to stone?
Whatever happened
to sharing?
Whatever happened
to the caring?
Where did our love
slowly go
Is something I
want to know.
It just quietly
slipped away
Bringing only
sadness to stay.
I long for your
tender kiss,
The passion we
felt, I miss.
Your arms holding
me tight
On a cold winters
night.
Your simple act of
teasing,
Which I found so
pleasing,
Brought joy to
this heart of mine
And a feeling of
love so divine.
My love is here to
stay,
Only yours
has slipped away.
Where oh where did
it go
That love I
cherished so?
I cry those silent
tears
Remembering those
years
When you and I
were one
Wondering, is it
over and done?
Can you
please explain to
me
So I can
understand and see
Why your love
quietly slipped
away
And sadness has
come to stay.
