Then and Now

by Jeannette Lopez   May 31, 2007


*Getting to know you then
And falling in love with you
Came easy for me;
*But forgetting you now
And leaving it all behind
Is now difficult, completely!

*Missing you then
Knowing I'll soon be with you
Was just my anxiousness;
*Missing you now
Knowing I'll never hold you again
Is just my sadness.

*Seeing you then
And feeling my heart skip beats
Were my nerves waking;
*Seeing you now
And feeling my heart shatter
Is only the pain I'm taking.

*Hearing your voice then
And the sweetness in your words
Used to be a lovely song;
*Hearing your voice now
And the bitterness in it
Became a tune gone wrong.

*Feeling you then
And your arms holding me tight
Used to be comforting;
*Feeling you now
As your arms push me away
Is but my body hurting.

*Thinking of you then
And dreams of being together forever
Rose my hopes from a steep slope;
*Thinking of you now
Knowing the fact we're apart
Is something I have to cope.

*Back then you once said
That I was your everything and your life
But how can that be?
You had no problem saying goodbye.

*This smile I wear
Is but a mask covering up what I feel
This is all a pretending game now
That'll end when my feelings are no longer conceal.
