Along The Way Poem by Will Fiala

Along the Way

Once came a day
When I saw you there my heart it flew away
You swept me off my feet, I knew
That you were here to stay

Strolls on the sands
Watched the sun sink in the ocean hand-in-hand
We kissed and held each other tight
While making all our plans

Summer days and winter nights we spent together
Loneliness was on the run
In endless hours of bliss and hope and tears and laughter
It seemed our life had just begun

Lost in your eyes
I was flying and I didn’t question why
As time stood still the only thing
That mattered, you and I

Little things began to turn into distraction
Lovin’ arms they turned astray
Thought I could pass it off as misconstrued reaction
But somethin’ happened ‘long the way

Then came a day
When I saw our love begin to slip away
At first I covered up my eyes
To hide myself from pain

Passed through dismay
Having come to know that life goes on its way
Leavin’ the past where it belongs
I’ve nothin’ left to say

My heart’s survived the loss, the pain’s
Subsided I’ll be on my way
