In Life, In Love, In Sorrow

You were always beautiful, the one I must forget
Dancing in the city, wanting glances you’d beget

I didn’t mean to know you, or let things go so far
It was never going to work, we’re both the way we are

Though loneliness deceives, wearing down the strong
Nights drift endlessly, into another’s arms we long

You were always beautiful, though our time has come and gone
We’ll walk out separate ways, until love we chance upon

Stephen E. Gibson
