To the woman that was
Once but never more,
To the woman you were,
Once but never more,
I was the man you loved
Once but never more,
Worthy in a mirrored vision
Of that misty dream
Evergreen, lush, ever near,
You on a bed of memories lay
As the wind sighed its consent
And Time stopped to admire.
Burned by reality
The vision was gone
Lived in a moment
And gone.
Beyond reach, beyond sight,
Beyond the grasp of day or night,
Soul anchored to a memory;
The woman that was
Once, but never more.
To you that were,
But never more.
