When you were mine
Sleep came more easily
Nights lasted longer
Warm blankets seemed more comfortable
And pillows more plush...
When you were mine
The Winter cold seemed less harsh
And days were less gray
The rare bird who dared fill the air with song
Seemed more glorious , more splendid
And the ice withstood the skaters pond...
When you were mine
Gentle breezes whispered melodies
Through fallen leaves
On the quilted ground...
When you were mine
Bargains of the heart were easily negotiated
The sly smiles only lovers know were a common thing
And the fantasy of love grew with each new sun...
But since you've gone
I've realized through time
That I was never yours
And you were never mine...
