Now That It's Gone
by Christine Hogan
I never would have thought thatthere'd be a you and me.It wasn't plausible.It wasn't possible.But out of the star-crossed skyfell an opportunity.It was great.It was special.It was magic.It made my lifesuch a blissful state of euphoria.My eyes sparkled.My soul danced.My heart rejoiced.And now that it's goneI wish there was something in its place.I want a new dream.I want a new heart.I want a new chance.But mostly,I'm receiving only loss.I remember the happy times and think there'll be no more.I remember little thoughts of you and sigh 'cause you're gone.I remember my contented heart and sigh because now it's broken.And now that you're gone,I can't help but miss you.For every where you used to smile an empty memory loomsof your soulful eyesyour shy smileand your beautiful face.
