Another Chance Poem by Ray Hansell

What ever happened
To you and me?
What happened to the love
That use to be?

We use to chase rainbows
After a summer rain
Please tell me what happened
Why things are not the same

We use to wish upon a star
On a warm summers night
All those times we spent together
Everything in the world was right

Two kids who grew up together
Two adults who fell in love
We built our worlds around each other
That's all we ever thought of

Then came the day we said, 'I Do'
We both believed in forever
But I guess forever is one of those words
You don't use, just like never say never

We thought we found our tomorrows
In each other eyes
Could it be all those years
We both wore a disguise?

There was a time not long ago
The love we shared was real
But as the years passed us by
Some things we no longer conceal

My love for you has faded
Like a fog burned away by the sun
It was not that long ago
When in my heart you were the only one

I can see your love for me
No longer lives in your heart
Instead of growing together
It appears we've grown apart

I know that no one is to blame
That's not what I'm trying to do
But I think it would be better
To live without you

It hurts me so to speak these words
Because you've meant so much to me
But you and I staying together
Is just not meant to be

I don't think our love has died
Because love is never truly dead
I just think now is the time
That these words be said

You'll always have a special place
Here inside my heart
It's just that we can't live together
It's time for a brand new start
