We have seen better times and places

We have seen better times and places

We have both seen sone better

times and places in our moment in

forever that God has given us,

since the night that you and I fell

together deeply in love, I for one am

so very grateful for the chance to

have become us, as before I was

alone like so many are in this

lonely world, you gave me happiness

and joy and so much more while

we were together with each other

but now our time is over just as

the sands of the hourglass have

foretold to us and all that love that

we once held for one another is

now fading even further from the

light turning to grey, true love

is very special with just a very few

that will make it through for it is

hard to find and even harder to

hold. Even though It is time to say

our goodbyes to what we had

because there is no sense in trying

to live in the past but you will never

be far from the thoughts within my

mind, for me, will always and forever

care for you and everything that we

went through it has given us a bond

that will last until the end of days.

Thank you for all the many years of

laughter, good times and even tears

in our disasters but most of all for

the love of a very special little boy,

or in his eyes, I can see your soul

the way it used to be when it

danced with mine holding on tightly

while all of the stars and moon up

in the midnight skies used to shine

when our love flowed, you are him

and he is you through eternity no

matter where you go or what you

do and that is why me and him and

he and I will always have living

inside of us all the memories of the

past back when we thought love

would always last and a piece of

you, that was left behind
