Making Up For Lost Time



 Silent Whisper by Mayfair








































We should have met twenty years ago.
We would have married and had children
and lived happily ever after~you said.
If I would have been standing by
your ex-husband's side, you would have
picked me instead of him...

Now you tell me that you've met
the person you were meant to spend
the rest of your life with, and I wonder~

How can we make up for twenty years
of missing each other, two soulmates
separated by some time warp in
the universe, a blip that cost us
twenty years of sunrises and sunsets.

We have never seen the ocean together
or hiked a mountain stopping to admire
all the clearwater streams and hidden
waterfalls...We have never vacationed
in a tiny log cabin and sipped wine
from the wineries we visited that day,
explored a cave, co-piloted a canoe.

There is so much left for us to explore,
so many memories to make, life to
experience...laughter, tears...
Even cooking a meal together,
shopping for groceries,
running errands~ It's all
new because it's with you.

I will never take you for granted.
It's so nice having you in my life
because life means nothing without
your best friend walking hand-in-hand
beside you...until our dying breath~
I promise to love you~forever.
We've missed twenty years,
but if we cherish each other,
perhaps we'll have the next
fifty to make up for
the years we lost.
