I loved him tenderly

Poem by Sharon Elton

He was holding onto his first love
No time for me, no time to see
I loved him tenderly
He was hoping for a second chance with her
A hopeless dream, a silly scene
No time for me, no time to see
I loved him tenderly
He could forget what he didn't want to see
But what he wanted to see
no longer wanted to be
A hopeless dream, a silly scene
No time for me, no time to see
I loved him tenderly
A hopeless dream, a silly scene
No time for me, no time to see
I loved him tenderly
