"final curtain"

@Uootem

Casual friends we are, lovers we are not
Our time has gone by, perhaps, but its magic I have not forgot.
Lifetimes often seem so short... gone so suddenly
And through the experience I found that real love is not easy
Often difficult to hold.... and very quick to leave.

You are the one I truly love... even today
and the emptiness aches in the most painful way
sadness fills the very core of my broken heart
for we have drifted so far through the time apart.

From the our very first kiss... to the very last touch of your hand.
I thought what we had shared between us was grand,
again writing a poem to thank you for the distant past
which now has to be hidden away at last.

Anew I must make another start,
for to someone else you have given your heart.
someday then tears will dry from my face,
and I will move on to another time and place.

So I keep what memories I can salvage,
like a play with actors poised on stage,
it was your love with me, of that I am certain
that has been drawn like a play's final curtain.
