A Chance for Romance

It Only Took a Minute

it only took a minute
for our relationship to end
but I lived an entire lifetime

with my heart held in suspend

as we were talking,
I was walking…
but my mind had drifted out-to-sea
were we really going to break up?

an idea my mind could not believe…

how does it get to this?
I mean,
how do you give-away-your-heart
never-want-to-be-apart
leave love-notes late at night
get nervous just at the site,

of seeing you walk through my door…

it only took a minute
but I was drowning with every second
my soul could not be found
I heard your words but not the sound

except for the ache of my heart-breaking

can we rewind and start again?
fix what broke and try to mend?
as the seconds they clicked by
I felt your heart stop for a moment,

just before you said good-bye…

while I felt the end was coming
gone were the days that we’d just play
I was so far from my body

that my tears were all that I could say…

in only took a minute
but in that minute
all my love for you was there…

I am gasping…

I am saying good-bye…

my lips moving as I stare…

it only took a minute
for our relationship to end
but I know I’ll spend the rest of my life

wondering if my heart will ever mend…
