Many Moons Between You And Me

My search for you has now come to a close

I looked for you in the places we use to go

At Six Oaks and  CC's

Couldn't find you for the life of me...

A long, long time ago

I recall the way we met

Unfortunately it was in a bar

I was out there seeking a divorce

From a marriage of fifteen years

Of abuse and neglect

Things upon which I really don't wish to reflect upon

I had just met someone

Went out with him and had a good time

Hanging out with him was fun for a while

Then I met you

I was captivated by your eyes

When you looked into mine

It was hard to look away

I liked your smile

When you looked at me

I felt something I've never felt before

Maybe I felt pretty for once in my life

Was it love at first sight

I wonder about that

If there is such a thing

Between you and I

There was quite an attraction

No doubt about that

I know you felt it, too

Between the beer and the tequila

The neon lights and the bar fights

We had surely seen it all

Then came last call for alcohol

I went home with you one night

At your request

Perhaps we fell too fast

Into one another's arms

We never took the time to talk

We made love instead

Or was it lust

We had both been hurt before

Perhaps to deep

To trust another with our hearts

When I was in your arms you spoke to me

No whispered lies

Only truth came from your lips

As you held me close

I remember we shared a taxi cab

As we went our separate ways the next day

You pulled me back into the car and kissed me

So passionately

I wondered would I ever see you again

Some time passed and there we were

Like two strangers passing in the night

Caught by a familiar glance

A soft spoken hello exchanged between us

Every now and then

Until one day it seemed we had become

A bit more than just friends

Lovers now and then

I found myself falling

Head over heels in love with you

But you were with another

So was I

It always seemed to be that way

Between you and me

I wonder if you ever thought about me

Over the years

Or was I forgotten like dust in the wind

When my husband died I came running to you

I was in a manic frenzy

Suffering from manic depression

You did not understand

How could you

When I stood there

Like a raving maniac

Yelling at you from the top of my lungs

In the middle of the night

At the bar

It was closing time

Everyone was standing outside

Watching the two of us

I remember our exchange of words

Only in your dreams!

Only in your dreams!

I never meant for that to happen

Most often I am quite shy

Easily embarrassed

Not quite so bold

I never meant to offend you

I just needed to talk to you

I just didn't know how

To approach you

I recall the night you stood atop of that roof

Asking me what it was I really wanted from you

If I was in love with you

I think you already knew

I loved you and always will

So how have your dreams been lately

My friend

You see how mine have been

Your words not mine

You once told me that I would be waiting

A very, very long time

Babe, it feels like I've waited a lifetime

For there have been many moons between you and me

Our paths have crossed

Once again

This time through cyberspace

As I see you are alone

So am I

Searching for someone

To find comfort and companionship

Perhaps a lasting and loving relationship

With someone who can appreciate

The simple things in life

Just to let you know
