Forgive and start again
 

Is there a world between the stars

Where lovers go to pause, a place

Of contemplation does he love her?

Yes, of course. A measure of attraction

A guide to inner glow, a peek into the

Future, a key to Yes or No

A journey to 'if only,' he wondered

Would it last, a crystal ball that tells

It all, the future and the past. He

Wondered why her absence, his

Guestbook very quiet, he emailed

Then he waited, after weeks still

No reply

A world of calm reflection, a planet

In between, the future that one hoped

For and the one that's soon to be

The day was far from perfect, the

Church was all locked up, the wedding

Guests felt cheated, when neither

Soul turned up

A little understanding, a generosity of

Heart, don't count the sadness count

The joy, who knows it might work out

Life is never perfect and love is just

The same, run things over in the mind

Forgive and start again
