'Mere Moments'

counted all the times, I've cried, lost count so long ago
of love that love never had a chance, a love I'll never know
these shattered words of sorrow beckon winter's past
and make their claim upon the bed of a love that failed to last...

dreaming never brought along that lasting wait till dawn
when love holds on past midninght and waits to carry on
slipping through the doorway before the heart has sung
giving up sweet memories before they have begun
lonely is the soul that waits for two hearts to be one...
