Long ago...

I am a fan of Bruno Mars and I love listening to all his songs. "When I was your Man" is one of my favorites. This soulful song became more pleasing to me when somebody gave meaning to it. And after hearing it over and over again, I gathered my thoughts and was able to write this short poem.


Long ago you gave me flowers,
long ago you held my hand.

Long ago you gave your hours,
long ago we danced.

Long ago you slipped the chance,
long ago was a memory you can only glance.

You're sorry and you're wrong,
coz long ago you weren't strong.

Long ago was your biggest pain,
coz that long ago is a thing you can no longer gain.

I kept in my heart your promises of long ago,
but now it was a memory I forego.

Long ago was a lost time,
coz long ago you use to call me mine.

Long ago there was you and me,
and now you're here saying sorry
coz you didn't have me.

Long ago was long ago,
simply because....
long ago you let me go...
