2. Blink Once

I didn't...

Our love was like a flash of lightning

Blink once and you miss it

The only evidence that it ever happened

Is in the tears I've left behind

 

Our love will never be remembered

One person can’t keep it alive

And we go our separate ways tomorrow

We met our end before we had a beginning

 

Maybe one day we'll pass each other

When I come back for a visit

And we'll exchange small talk and walk away

And I'll realize you haven’t changed

 

Our relationship only lasted for a minute

It seems you blinked and missed it

And all that’s left of you and I is this poem

A reminder that once I loved you

Author's Note

Written years ago, this poem is actually one of my favorites. I generally perfer my newer ones, but this one has always been special to me.
