Another Path

Out of focus And dim of light, I remember a boy, no, young man is right. The love of his youth by his side. Foggy memories of smiles And eyes bright. Time stood still For just awhile. He made her laugh, made her smile. Feelings strong emotions high. This love was true This love was right. Soon oceans divided far away shores, Distance was cruel To the love they adored. Time moved quickly Never to be seen. The young man moved on And so did his queen. Chosen paths, opposite directions What happened to those times And all the affection? The love remains forever with unfulfilled intentions. The time is gone. Forever lost. The love of his youth Called above. Another path chosen... What was the cost?
