Amy Gerrard - Transient Passions

You were mine for a while,
And for a while you were mine.
We came together consensually,
And we developed over time.
We saw each other through,
The good times and the worst,
Never knowing what our lives
Would bring, never knowing
What lay ahead, never knowing
What lay round life’s savage bend,
Never realizing truthfully, that what we
Had would end.

I saw you blossom before my eyes,
You were blonde and beautiful,
It was no surprise.
And as we walked on love’s path
Hand-in-hand,
Across the Weymouth sands,
Nothing mattered, we didn’t care,
Whom watched, or noticed,
We had found our passionate lair.

I watched you lie recovering in hospital
I saw you strive, I saw you change,
I saw it clearly how we were rearranged.
And heartbroken I knew we’d walk the same
Sad line,
As our love became lost, and died over time.

Today we are still friends. Today we do still talk,
Yet I still feel. I do still feel.
As I know do you…..
As I know do you…..
